I wear a body warmer and a woolen duffel coat which looks like a dustman's / matrix coat( I have had it 17 years).
I also find gloves trap damp and freeze hands-vinyl seems better than fabric.

Why not use 30-42le auto?

agree..3 or 4 vinly gloves over each works well,traps the air inbetween each layer..at work i have 6 layers on top 3 below..2-3 hats..i hate the cold..
 
I gave up my old job which seemed to involve all summer inside in the baking heat and all winter outside in the freezing cold for a move up to a nice centrally heated workshop & office.

was the best thing I ever did, just a shame I am not supposed to take vehicles in there, not that I ever would when my boss wasnt about ;)
 
bought lexus for £550 and it currently owes me £285 loom separated and waiting for some relays etc
 
shell and associated crap £100 (actually got 120 but other **** mixed in so only counted shell)
Mirror £12.50
Mirror,rear strut,mirror,wishbones and slightly faulty radio £75
tax refund when it comes £60 ish
Stereo amp £25
 
No it is ongoing as the chap at the machine shop is ****ing useless
 
use ark racing..they can make you flywheel too,so can go manual..
 
glad to hear it's still alive.

Got a 1uz-fe myself in the celsior and have fanciful ambitions about sticking it on a spare disco chassis
