Need advice. I cannot store my Celica inside this winter. I have not driven it for 3 months as well. I want to keep it long term, but don't know what I should do for upkeep it. The rust will probably get worse which is fine but I don't know if I should overinflate the tires and disconnect the battery or do nothing. Any advice is appreciated. I want to consider getting cheap indoor storage as well. Thanks!

drive it for a few days to get everything moving and working, air the tires up to their max sidewall pressure, then add 10lbs to that. Park the car ontop of a very large tarp, pull the battery out of the car completely and store it inside on a battery tender, wrap the car completely in the tarp then tie rope around the car side to side and front to back to keep the tarp sealed up tight.

Definitely DON'T wrap it in a tarp. Here's my process of what I do for my winter storage (see post 2) and others in my city. http://toptierimports.com/index.php?topic=1585.0 -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |
