Anyone work on their car outside, in the cold?

[lolcantturn]

For those of us lacking a garage, I'm wondering if you guys deliberately work on your car outside in the cold?
I live in Jersey and I'm garageless. As much as I hate it I got to get shit done. Buying a proper heat gun DEFINITELY made things easier though.

Not gonna lie, man, that sounds like hell on wheels. props.

I was stripping an e21 in the rain in November, was about 5C out.

Layer up.

Oh wow..I thought I was bad. My car overheated after the first snowfall of the season, and it was that icy ass snow. I had to go under my car while it was parked over a layer of ice..it was 3*F outside with 21mph wind. Props to you.

/\ Not a bad idea if you're stuck working outside w/out shelter.

Haha.

I did that w/ the hood of that e21 while pulling the TAs,
Good times.

it sucks working in the cold, your fingers don't move and big gloves just defeats the purpose of dexterity....

I've done it though, just get some layers on...

Unfortunately I work on my car on the street..parallel parked where everyone can walk by on the sidewalk and go WTF

Ive done wheel bearings on my street, replaced a guibo and driveshaft on the side the road, it always rains here in Oregon so i tend to do interior stuff during rain storms and exterior stuff during the rare dryness.

I pulled the rear subframe out of my wrecked donor e36 M3 on Monday or Tuesday this week but it wasn't terribly cold...I still feel your pain, however.

work in the sun in the middle of summer in a hot place like florida and you will quickly enjoy a nice cold day. obviously there is a limit for cold weather too but i would WAY rather work in 40-60 degree weather than 80-100

To answer the original question: no, not deliberately. If I can put it off, I wait until a day above 40F to work. That's not to say I haven't had to fix things immediately in single digits. Nothing pulls out body heat like laying on cold concrete and touching cold metal. Get a set of coveralls. My favorite glove solution is a pair of cheap stretchy black gloves, with latex gloves over them.

And in response to dkbmxer, yeah, it really sucks when you can't stop dripping sweat all over whatever you're working on.
