Coupe to bed

Got the coupe put away for the winter today. My barn can hold my three cars and the old tractor comfortably, but I have to leave the truck outside.



The coupe fits in this stall, the Ford and Cabrio (if I get it back) in the center portion, and the tractor in another stall. Notice the spare engine in the right foreground. Not sure how to store that thing, so here it sits for now.



I added dry gas and fuel stabilizer to a full tank of gas, disconnected the wiring harness from the starter, but hooked up a trickle charger to the battery cable. I hope that keeps my marginal battery good through the winter and servicable next spring. I also put moth balls in and underneath the car to keep the mice, raccoons, etc, out and sealed openings (carb, tailpipe, etc.) with plastic wrap. The final step is to put the car cover over it.

I don't jack it up though; the tires will just have to take the weight. I also didn't relieve the clutch pressure, but probably should. Don't want the pressure plate to freeze to the flywheel.

Five more months until I drive it again. :(
