Mustang is officially put away for the winter.

[CSKoz]

I made sort of a "boat" out of a tarp to keep the mice and moisture out and liberally spread dryer sheets around. "They" say the mice do not like the dryer sheets, so we will see.

I used dryer sheets last year as prevention as well and had no problem with mice. You should be fine.

Great, thanks. It is a big wooden barn and I have had trouble in the past with other vehicles. I also put them in the airbox opening and amongst the wiring under the hood. Just gotta remember to get them all out in Spring!

Definitely looks protected!

Always a sad day when we have to store the cars for the winter....ive yet to bite the bullet but im sure it will be happening soon. I am just keeping hope alive for as long as I can. Last year I waited one day to long and had to drag my snowblower from the shed to the garage in seven inches of snow....that sucked!!!!

i put steal wool in my tail pipes, mice can't eat through it to get inside the exhaust.

+1 on the dryer sheets, also, im going to try putting a new tire inside the car during the storage. I heard that it puts a "new car smell" inside. figured I have a set of front tires I'm planning on putting on in the spring so might as well try it.

 

[CSKoz]

Interesting idea on the tire. I did put aluminum foil in each tail pipe. Some dryer sheets inside and an airfreshner. To get the car in the barn I have to go up an incline, and it gets slippery when snowy. I thought I had waited a day too long, but it worked. Had to use a rake on the slope first.

Also as the steel wool goes down their throats it cuts up their insides and they die which is a good thing

Nice, a twofer!

OH boohooo, mines been away for 3 years! Looks like it's nice and cozy and out of the weather!

 

[CSKoz]

Yeah should be okay. Just wanting to take care of it without going too extreme.

Why has your been away?

 

[1990_LX]

Because it's a project!

 

[CSKoz]

Very cool. I started out looking for a project because I have been wanting something to work on, but I don't have time to finish the things to do that I have now. Good luck! Hopefully in the next few years I will find some time to play.

 

[CSKoz]

Those look great. Should work perfectly. If I have trouble this year maybe I will look into one of those for next year. (Crap, thinking about next winter already, that sucks!)

I just hope ya dont have any leaks in za roof...haha

 

[CSKoz]

No leaks, brand new full metal roof went on this summer. Trying to keep the barn in good shape.
