Storage for the winter

[Mustangdan]

My first mustang it never sees rain and it will never see winter, Give me some information on storage for the winter

 

[Unrealford]

This is how I store mine..

 

[Mustangdan]

do you remove battery or put on trickle charge

 

[Unrealford]

Usually try to bump up the airpressure, put battery on Trickle charger,Do not start the car during winter, Keep full tank of gas along with Stabil gas treatment, Use mothballs or somthing to put around the car, Block off aircleaner and exhaust exits...Spray engine completly with WD-40 all over, including wires and engine itself.. With todays tires as long as airpressure is bumped up, you wont need to suspend car in air with jackstands,
OHHHDONT FORGOT about plastic under car, always park car in dryest area and park it on plastic

 

[Mustangdan]

why spray engine with wd40 all over including wires and engine itself

 

[Unrealford]

If you have a newer engine, it will Oxidize if its aluminum and get all white and cloudy from any moisture, once it gets that way, there no return back to new condition like mne !!

 

[Unrealford]

Could you post some pictures of your ride !

 

[Mustangdan]

I haven't done much to it yet it is brand new but I am planing on it, a little at a time.

 

[Mustangdan]

Even now wiping down the engine with wd40 will prevent oxidizing. I did not know that.

 

[Mustangdan]

I have the sidescoops going on this weekend with the bullit grille I like that, and a little bit of chrome here and there it never ends, I am going to go broke. You know where I am coming from.

Nice engine beautiful work

 

[Unrealford]

Thanks, yes WD-40 repels moisture and cleans very well, but isnt harsh. With WD-40 you dont have to worry about wires or anything..

 

[Mustangdan]

Are you going for that ride in Letchworth state park august 2, I am thinking about it
