make sure the car is washed and polished before you put the cover on as any grit will make a nice mess as the wind blows the cover around.
also disconnect the battery too, as this will help prevent rusting and it discharging.

best advise seen on this thread is the clean and polish before storing and battery disconnection.

also another thing to keep in mind is that fuel goes off, but with the mk1 having a metal tank i would brim the fuel tank to stop any moisture in there rusting the tank from the inside out.
another tip i will be using is coat you nice alloys in vasaline, as this will hep protect them from the moisture and salt and grime.
