You could pull the plugs and put just a little motor oil in each hole .This will keep the walls coated .Drain the fuel and put the car on stands. If you are going to be around the car and not out of town ,start the car and run it for a while ,hell even drive it if it is street legal.

I'm going to start mine once a week. I let it run for a few minutes then shut her down, and put the trickle charger back on.

yuo can go to your local auto part store and get this **** that you put in the gas (dont remember what its called) it keeps anything from freezing in the tank or lines. if you just park it the wqay it is just start it twice a week and let it run for 15 min you will be fine. i would change all fluids know and in the spring
