putting away for the winter
ok well I've given up on my celica for this year as I have no coin
and I don't even have the coin to professionally store it, so I'm going to leave it in my garage What should I do to get the car ready and also what should I do to get the garage winter ready Do I need to seal it ? do I need to drain fluids? should I just shrink wrap the car?

Change the oil if it's due for it, put a bottle of fuel stabilizer in the tank and drive it one last time. Mayke sure you have a proper ratio of antifreeze int he rad. Disconnect the battery. That's about it. If it's in a freezing cold garage you might want to jack it up so it's not sitting on the tires. |

Fuel stabilizer, No need for stabil unless you are planning on not using it for more than 3 months.
Leave at least half a tank of gas. Remove or disconnect battery old. Fill the tires a few psi above the normal pressure. You can put some jack stands on it so that the weight of the car doesnt damage the tires from being on the same spot for such long time
