Hi! Just stored my mini away to hibernate for the winter.. any hints or suggestions to less the rust and damge to it? Or just to chat about minis! :smile:

 

Try a Car Capsule

An inflatable protective baggie for your beloved MINI!

I have also heard of similar ones which fill the bag with nitrogen to remove rust causing oxygen. . . .

 

hibernate a MINI? did you know that's illegal in the US?

are you asking like pumping the gas all the way to full, pumping
air into the tires to 40psi, unplugging battery or putting a trickle
charger on it, car cover, things like that?

 

Here it is from Miata guys. They know how to store cars for the winter:

If you're not going to take it out every time the weather allows...then remove the plugs and put a squirt of oil in each cylinder....then replace the plugs. Make sure to disconnect the battery or even better, remove, put on wood and hook a trickle charger to it....Cover it and put it up on jack stands. Don't think you have to worry too much about rust but hopefully you have a garage.

cheers
