What we need is to find a large workshop that we could hire out for a day/weekend.

Everyone chips in and we work together fixing sorting etc and everyone can learn a new trick or two  :y

It's all well and good having a grinder... but is anyone good enough to use it on the cars?  ;D

I wouldn't bother with a car cover. They are more likely to hold moisture under them rather than allow the car to breathe and keep dry naturally in the air. They can also chafe against the paintwork in high winds.

yep.. but better than days of constant rain :-\ and you will need to take the cover and dry from time to time..  also they need to be tied up to wheels on all corners for strong winds..  and no moisture can be as harmful as bird poo..

my solution is to wax it completely then cover when unusued and check for mosture from time to time.. some models have ventilation..

I use 2 types one  cloth type, another nylon ..in summer I use cloth..  and for rainy days I use nylon.. but be careful if snow melts and freezes on cloth you are in trouble..

You're not wrong.. managed to turn half my (block paved) driveway black when I did the Dax chassis  :-[ :-[ The thought of spraying Waxoyl above my head on a ramp fills me with dread..
