Well gents, I put the Maro away for winter. Ive been gone almost all summer (Mil stuff) and didnt have any time to research a suitable storage area, and with temps dropping into the low 20's I didnt have much time left. I found a guy on Craigslist who lived 5 miles from me and with 300 in hand, off I went. Turns out Ive bought some parts from this guy before. Nice guy, he owns several classics. Well, the barn was, well, a barn. He had some plastic sheets over the dirt floor, there was sunlight coming thru the slats and the ground was uneven. What the hell, I dont have any other options, so I backed him in, scattered some lavender mothballs ( my car smells like a fuggin urinal now) and covered him with the car cover. Its going to be a LONG winter.

 

There's a guy near me who charges $400 for an indoor heated storage space. Hopefully your barn guy keeps mouse traps set, or has cats.

 

The mice are going to make fun of my car because it stinks like a urinal cake!

 

I keep my cars in a barn, not quite that primitive, flange some sheet metal, pieces to wrap the wheels and seems the keep little critters out and off. They will get under a cover and make a mess, and they can do serious damage to wiring, carpet seats and the such. Good luck, it is going to be a long time till spring.

 

Spread mothballs on the ground to surround the tires, it'll keep the mice away.
That won't prevent them from dropping down from above with a rope though!

 

Moth ***** seem to keep most varmints away, but you need to be generous when spreading them out. Also, the car will smell funny for a few weeks after you take it out of storage.

 

The barn owner says he has that covered....NINJA CATS!

 

Ninja cats, I like that, may need to get some.

 

I figure thats where some of my 300 dollars rent is going too....paying for ninja cat training.
