I know!
But we've 2 audi quattros in the house, a van and my company car so not without wheels 
Gandalfs having the winter off to allow me to keep a check on the mileage and to finish a few things i've been tinkering with for ages. Will disco 1 steel rims and 205's fit? do i take the batteries out or leave them on trickle charge? will it get mouldy inside? Just had it's second service so fluids are topped and antifreeze is ok etc. |

If it lives inside a garage I would connect a tricklecharger, so it is always ready to rescue Audi's
Maybe put a moisture absorber in the interior.

the wheels are getting a repaint / retyre so i have a set of disco rims on knacked 205's that i could fit, if they fit.
the interiors coming out anyway so widows open a little and a small dehumidifier will be great. |

Pretty sure Disco rims fit, but there is one way to find out
dont matter so much if your not moving it.
Leave the all windows open a bit so it can still get airflow and keep drying the windows everyday till they stop steaming up, parked in a garage shouldn't take more than a couple of days before stay dry just don't leave the damp rag in the car,whilst it's in there give it a good clean and polish,you know you want to  . |

frost sell dehumidifier bags, i used them in my battery box for a while, they work well, but if it's inside, keep a couple of windows slightly open and the garage ventilated.
