Waterproof the top, wax the whole car good, get some good snow tires and sandbag the trunk. That's about all I do here up in the snow belt.

buy a $500 geo or something. if you can't afford it, sign up for a credit card with zero interest and use that to buy it.

i had to run my vert last winter and i'll never do that again. the little rust it did have got WAY worse due to all the snow and ice (and hence salt) we had last year. if i can get a few of my not-so-cool projects done in the next couple weeks, i'm probably going to pick up a beater truck. we'll see though. yeah, do whatever you can to keep your vert out of the salt.

NOOOOOO WINTER!!!.....any ways. I would spray some of that bedliner stuff under the body. The last thing u want is having a hole threw the rails. And try reparing most of the rust thats on there now. bGood luck man.
