| How do you vent the exhaust out of there though? Fumes ? I've never used one of those.
I've seen propane heaters that would heat the thing up pretty quick but they produce fumes which I've heard are bad news. The garage isn't insulated and it's drafty. | |

Heck I must be brain dead then. We have used the diesel one quite a bit. They are a bit smelly when the first fire up but after they are going they don't seem to be to bad. For the part part we have just left the doors open and it still keeps it pretty nice and warm. | |

| I have no projects. Ever.
Only about $800 to go on my engine build....
Then a little thing called K-pro.
Engine harness, some misc little stuff, and an FPR.
It'd be done a lot sooner if my truck hadn't gone to shit yesterday. I'm guessing I'm looking at another easy G this week to fix it, as I don't have a lift and I'm not lugging out a 600lb transmission on the pavement in my driveway - It's a writeoff on taxes anyways.
But, it does put the big project on hold.
Engine harness should be here for the coupe tomorrow, then just bolting that together. I've already got a buyer for it, in Miles City so once she's running she's gone.
Then the Yukon becomes priority, I need t get it up and running properly again. I'm either going to sell it to my parents' or possibly a friend in WA, or keep it. Its paid for, but $4,000 just going to waste is driving me nuts...
So needless to say I've got a lot of projects going on right now. Other than the truck, and yukon it is by my choosing. I need to get the K series done ASAP, because I want to buy a house in the near future. Story of my life, too much to do and not enough time... | |

| Its going to be daily drivable, but I will be drag racing it too - and probably wont be DD'ing it much. We'll see what she puts down for numbers once boosted and figure out how serious I am going to take the drag racing thing... I want it to be a fun hobby for me, not a headache and something I stress over.
And I got a call from the mechanic working on my truck a bit ago., $1000ish if its the clutch in my truck, up to $1800 if the flywheel let loose. That'd be converting it away from the dual-mass setup that's in it right now. And if only the clutch the $1000 is upgrading it... damnit. This hinders other plans for a couple weeks. I don't think black friday is going to see any money this year from me either. I was hoping for a new LED TV, but now it will be going under my truck. | |
