Sad Day, Put It In Storage For Winter!

[Sparky714]

It's going to be in the 50's here in North Dakota this weekend, so I'm not putting mine away just yet. When the snow finally stats flying it will get a tranny rebuild, maybe some suspension work and what ever else I happen to find to tinker with. A heated shop is great for winter projects in NoDak

Mine will be going into hibernation soon too. Any tips you guys do for winterizing. Do u put stabil in the tank? Mine will be garaged.

I used stabil the last 3 winters.

I use stabil and fill the tank. Every 3 or 4 weeks I do start it and let it run. Since i have a paved lot where i store it i also drive it around and do a few burnouts!

Nice Bob. I will prob book a battery tender to it and leave it. Like my bike that I would store. Or unhook the battery altogether. Haven't decided. Do you guys put down some barrier like a plastic sheet or something to separate from cement floor?

Yours looks good too i like that hood. I dont have electricity where i store it and i dont put down plasic or anything but its a good idea. I might do rubber floor mats under the tires. I do put natural mice repellant in the garage as well as in the trunk, interior and engine bay. It smells like evergreen and it comes in what looks like a giant tea bag.

i put a picture of my ex in the car. That will scare the crap out of anything alive.

I don't put down plastic...but it wouldn't hurt. I would go out and start mine once a month and let it get up to temperature. My car has basically been a garage queen for the past couple years unfortunately.

I use a recording of mines voice. It makes dogs howl,mice scurry for cover and young children cry.

For you guys way down there it's the time of the year when your AC turns off longer than 15 minutes before starting again.

It is nice here too. I drove mine to work... again.

Bleh...our first snow storm. Expecting 6-10". Now I can't go chase women tonight. Well I could...what the hell...I am. This is what happens when you break up with the girlfriend. We start "braving the elements" just for some "company".

I always put heavy plastic down on the concrete to cut down on moisture coming through.

 

[Glocker23]

Nice. I think I will be grabbing some at depot tomorrow. Any other recommendations

We r getting about 12 inches of snow total in roscoe il. Thats why im posting at 6:30 am. Gotta go clear the driveway so i can go to work, broom all the cars, move them, plow, then move them back. The life of a car salesman living the dream!

I also usually throw several of flow through boxes of baking soda inside the car to act as a desiccant and either some bounce sheets or mothballs under the hood to keep mice away.

I do that also. I was told though that moth balls won't keep them away. I do it anyway..
