Hello folks, about to put her away for the winter and wanted to know if you have any tips. Unheated storage, but dry of course on a cement pad. Thanks for your help. Joe

Get a pair of dinner plates, one with rice, one with either baking soda or activated charcoal(Like aquarium filters use)
Put a plate on each floor board, rice absorbs moisture, the other absorbs funky smells. Stabil(fuel stabilizer) in the tank, a full tank is less likely to rust. Run the car enough that the stuff is all through the fuel system. Car on stands, in neutral with parking brake disengaged, ground disconnected at battery. Some say drain the oil prior to storage, which I tend to agree with. If you are really compulsive, you can turn it over by hand every few weeks. In the spring, bleed the brakes, change the oil(or put some in), put air in tires and connect battery. |
