I washed and waxed. All I noticed was that the paint looks rough.

I added blue Stabile and to car and generator in the trailer

I was also told to cover the exhaust and intake.

Car goes to the shop in Feb/March to get ready for April

this is my list right now but I'm wondering if others have ideas of things I should do knowing the car will be sitting in below freezing temps and not moving for a couple months? other wear items I should be concerned about?
  • change motor oil/gear oil if needed
  • car detailed and cleaned
  • check out left side thoroughly where I got hit
  • check bolts on headers that are very tight clearance (see pic attached)
  • check brakes/pads/fluid
  • check all suspension components (arms, links, bars, etc...)
  • check wheel bearings
  • replace wheel studs
  • coolant
  • put car on roller wheels w old sh*t tyres
1)Drink coffee
2)write check
3)done.

And pray to God the critters don't visit over the winter. BTW, mother mice can be raging bitches!

You are lucky given that the car really only has 2 weekends on it so you don't have a ton of winter maintenance to take on...I on the other hand do.

Also - if your car is not being stored in a temperature controlled location you may want to consider something other than water in the cooling system to prevent frozing
