Preserve stored vehicles
 
Just a word of caution: if you have treasured vehicles stored outside in a damp environment.

Regularly check for corrosion. Apply old engine oil onto leaf springs, chassis frames, just about everything. Don't park any vehicle under trees.. some leaves are acidic, pine needles are notorious.

Rust can attack chassis frames , bodywork, wheels, leaf springs - anything made from steel .

I have seen chassis' ruined from rust .

Another common issue is: rain water dribbles down gear sticks , it seeps inside and fills up your gearbox and after a few months, your gearbox can be completely useless, it looks like a huge lump of red oxide - scrap metal.

Don't ask me , I learned the hard way :bang:
