I am in the process of packing my non-daily driver cars away for the winter. I am left with one car that does not have a place to hibernate- my 914. Unfortunately, I am out of garage space. I really do not want to pay someone to keep my car in storage.
My 914 is 100% rust free and I would like to keep it that way. Are there any cheap options for keeping a car outside while also protecting it from the elements. I would assume that a cover would do the trick. I have seen "car pockets" but all the ones that I have seen say for indoor only. Any ideas? |

The above will work so long as you do not get significant snow over the winter. If you do, the structure will one day fail. It is a great California solution, but probably not a good Ohio solution.
Plastic on the ground to block ground water coming up. A sturdy tarp over the car (that goes UNDER the plastic so water does not sheet inside and get trapped on the plastic.) If you are doing this on grass, expect not to have any more grass when you bring the car out of storage. Zach |
