Is it starting to warm up where you live? Now might be the perfect time to make sure your fun car or project is ready to go when fairer weather returns.

The Springtime Storage Removal Checklist features everything we do when we bring a classic car out of winter storage, but it’s also applicable to any modern car that slumbers for the winter.

Get the full checklist over on Classic Motorsports, and let us know what steps you always take when pulling a car out of winter storage.

Uh, that's a big nagative ghost rider. At this point I'm looking for cheap beat rwd crap to play with at the first event, and maybe just scrap after. Maybe if it's entertaining enough, I can convince another car buddy in the area to store it at their place and then we can lift and gambler it.

Dunno...bined the Fitech and bolted on a carb but the snow came and kept me off the roads for testing and tuning. So that is where  I pick up as soon as enough salt if off the roads.

 

Pretty much all Canadian car events are canceled this year, so motivation might be lacking.

Started mine today as it was in the upper 30’s and sunny.   Let it warm up and then took it for a quick trip around the block.  I don’t think it’s moved since early December.   Hopefully in another two or three weeks the salt will have been washed of the roads.  I’m ready to get back to it.

I’m waiting for the snow piles that got shoveled up around it to melt a bit more...

WOSCA will have their autocross series if you want to test the Molvo's capabilities.

I left my BMW with a full tank of gas and gave my parent's the key. They have been driving it every week, at least 5-10 miles so it gets up to temp. I much prefer that to leaving it in a storage unit for 5 months.
