I wish I can say something positive but I can't. I am looking for some
advise as to what I should do.

Today, I went into my garage, by fluke, and noticed that the a water pipe
burst and there was water everywhere. My car (TR-6) had the windows opened
and the interior was soaking wet. Seems like all the gauges have water
aswell, the radio, seats, carpet etc... The car was in storage and last week
in Montreal, we had a deep freeze and my hot water pipes froze. My landlady
called a plumber to fix the problem and told me that since the basement and
garage are not heated...that causes a BIG problem.

Since my garage is not heated and the water will either stay or turn to ice.
What can I do so that condensation does not settle in?

Please help me...I have spent the last 3 years restoring this car and
haven't even had one season to enjoy it.

Also, I had an overdrive and transmission on the floor. Are they doomed? Do
I have to get them rebuild?

Thanks,

Patrick
