As the title says, I need to get my blue 914 out of the weather.
I looked in to expanding my garage or building a detached garage and the zoning where I live is prohibitive. To keep my car on my property but get it out of the weather I am thinking of buying a new 14 or 16 foot enclosed car trailer. I have room to park one in my backyard. I would plan to paint and preserve it with lanolin oil spray. I think I need some kind of ventilation to keep moisture from being trapped inside. Any advice on what to look for, brands, things to avoid? Thanks for any tips! John |
