    You probably can, I generally do all my stuff out in the open in my driveway, but then of course the weather closes in and it's a mad rush to finish off and pack stuff up.

    BUT!!! .. there is a place you can rent a fully equipped workshop for about $45/hr, which includes many air tools, any type of car hoist you think you need .. etc, etc.
    I'm thinking of doing this myself(even tho I have my own personal space!) .. just for the access to many tools that 'may come in handy' that this place has.

    I'm waiting for some of my parts to come, I already have the necessary locking pins.

    pm me if you want more info(or even some help).

    a list of place I've done a timing belt.

    on the side of a sort of road (snapped)
    in a caravan park (preventative)
    in private garages and apartment car parks (preventative)
    In driveways (diy gone wrong, snapped and preventative)
    In a paddock (FIP required replacing, not removed correctly timing was lost)
    in someones front yard (preventative)
    in someones front yard/driveway under a tarp in the rain. (you know who you are. preventative for a trip)

    I can honestly say I have never done one in a workshop.

    If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
    If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.

    The pleasantness of the weather is inversely proportional to the amount of work required on the car!
    Pop the bonnet, and the clouds start to build .. close the bonnet and they break up a little and the sun comes back out again.

    When my garden is looking a bit parched, I pop the bonnet and start doing something on the D1 .. there's a 99.9% likelyhood it will start raining! That sorts the garden out nicely!

    BUT! ...
    The hard one is to figure out how to work on the car AND have nice weather .. I'm keeping the 'workshop option' as an ace up my sleeve.

    seriously tho, it'd just be nice to have access to tools I don't have .. just in case something doesn't cooperate as it's supposed too.
