You should really put down a tarp under the car, or go get two 4x8 sheets of plywood and park on them. Leaving it sit on the dirt/grass is asking for bugs and critters to crawl up in the car

Like posted, all the bugs/animals that were in the area are underground or dead, But that would still be a very good idea, I was thinking of throwing a cover over it too..

Don't cover it when it's outside. Moisture will accumulate under the cover, causing mould on the interior and rust in the body.

When you're out of real estate, you go vertical.

i always love how canada seems to be the place thats cold....as if snow has never touched down in the U.S....anyhow.

Incorrect...that shelter would be a haven for mice in the winter. Any area that can give them protection from the elememts they will nest in.....and we all know the damage mice can make to your car.

Throw a bunch of moth ***** in the shelter, the smell of them repelles the mice.

How mine is currently sitting:





Basically stripped down at the moment. No drivetrain...awaiting the motor to reinstall. Removed the entire suspension for powdercoating and getting ready to pull the fuel tank so we can coat the underbody.

Riz, what are you coating the undercarriage with?

I've been thinking of doing something similar since my FD sits exactly how yours does right now. I was also thinking of spraying the interior with some sound deadening material.

Man, I keep forgettin' the name of the stuff my painter will be using. It's P something. I can PM you and let you know. It's supposed to harden like stock and then allow for painting if need be. Works for me


I'm also considering doing the sound deadening paint. My car's interior is nearly stripped down so I figure now's the best time to just get it out of the way.
