Btw, for those of you winter driving, just undercoat it, and give it a wash every week or so, just to keep shit clean. I wanna throw some tar on that bitch, maybe bedliner on the rocker panels since the motor is out. ---

mine is rear wheel drive and its so freakin light on the tail so it spins like a mad cow, lol, anyway I always just cover it with tarp outside coz I have no room in my garage just enough for 1 car. The only problem right now is installing an electronic rust protector but I have to plug that thing for me not to drain the battery. ---

Also, another good technique to add on top of yours is doing a weekly engine bay wash, then throwing her in a heated garage. ---

I dunno, I’m undecided. The car has 65,000km on it…it seems a waste to store it. The daily i’m trying to pick up is also super clean…may as well keep both on insurance…just gonna rust proof the shit out of em and try to coat with bedliner before the winter. ---

I bought a 93 240sx as a winter car last year… worst mistake ever. Usuaully I look at winter as a time to save money, so I bought as I said a 93 240sx auto with hicas which ended up being silvia front end, sr20, 5 speed, non hicas with gtr seats blah blah blah. And made winter way too much fun to drive in. This year I’m back to fwd 😃 that’ll keep me indoors saving money. My 300ZX doesn’t go near snow, it’s usuaully away from October/November til May/June ---
