Owning a classic car is a never ending story of maintenance and repair work. You have to fight corrosion, tired suspensions, leaking rubber seals and soft-tops etc.
And even though most classic cars are not in daily use you also have to with signs of wear out on engines, piston rings and other parts.
If you happen to drive your car even in winter, you should wash it regularly because of the salt on the streets. Otherwise the salt will be responsible for even more corrosion. But make sure it can dry properly.
The electric wiring also is something you should always keep an eye on, as damages can be a potential fire hazard, especially behind the instrument panel where a lot of wiring can be found. You should check this area regularly and repair things as soon as possible.
Before you start driving your car again in spring, you should really check everything properly and make sure your car is in a perfect condition and safe. And never forget if there wasn’t the maintenance on your car, it wouldn’t be that much fun.
