Anyone else repairing their cars outside in this weather?

Brrr it's cold outside and I've spent today working on my car outside on the drive in the snow.
It's -5 and snowing occasionaly and there is still a good few inches of snow on the ground.

Front spring broke so Eibach's fitted with new Bilstein B4's.

I did the first one (The broken one) and refitted then found the bump stop DOH....
Off with it, strip down and reassemble, this time with the bump stop!!!.

Then the other side.

Dropped a socket in the snow and spent ages finding it again.

I must be mad.

Will do the rears tomorrow.


Anyone else having fun trying to keep the daily ride fixed in this weather?

Yep fitted both TPMS receivers (tyre pressure monitoring system) to the front today,changed wheels and then changed them back again and i found out my inner driver's side cv boot is split so need advise on how to change that lol

Plus was going to change rear axle wiring harness today but after 30 mins of figuring how it all plugged in i couldnt feel my fingers so left it till it gets a bit warmer

I have to change Two broken front springd on my wifes Vectra. But they will have to wait till the weather gets better. Unless they break a bit more off.

Bigmac, inner CV boot isnt too bad, done the same one on mine, I took the shaft out of the hub and then out of the inner CV joint, slipped boot on the re-fitted.

Oh and fitted mudflaps and removed Irmey splitter in this weather, at night!
