Niagara Falls,
Alright guys, coming this november she's going away, but, one problem.....NO GARAGE!! What should I do? I was going to raise her off the ground, take all four wheels off, cover the whole brake system with plalstic bags and cover her with a car cover. I was going to build like a little garage kinda thing outta 2 x 4's and thick plastic covering but I don't like that the car can't breathe. What would you guys do? :talon:
 
this isn't fancy, but it works. put a light bulb in the engine bay somewhere. with the car cover on the light bulb will generate enough heat to keep things from freezing, there are other alternatives to a light bulb, but i think that is the most immediate and easiest solution.
 
To each their own, but isn't that a little extreme? I realize your in Canada. Do you have a block heater?

Since there are no pics in your profile, I don't know what to tell you. Is your car really fixed up with nice wheels, or what? What are you going to be driving. Just seems a little extreme for a 95 TSI. But :thumb: for car care.
 
nah, she is complete stock right now, next year I'm putting everything in all at once, getting it fully tuned and everything, that's the best way to go, all at once I think. Light bulb sounds good. The capsule thing is crazy cool but too rich for my blood, haha, and some kid would probably come pop it or something, hahahaa. Anyways, sounds good guys, thanks for the tips. :talon:
 
that capsule thing is f$%^ing tight!!Good luck wicheverway you gWTF!!n the modding idea,it's not good to do everything at once because somethign might go wrong.If you do it one at a time,then you'll know what to look for,viseversa,good luck.
 
that car capsule is sweeeet! although a bit expensive.. my car is parked in the garage with a car cover.. so I guess thats more than enough, although if I got the capsule it would be like a giant display case as well..
