If you live in the barracks or don't have your own house then you'll likely have to put the car in storage anyway. Be safe and keep your head down while you're out there.

As far as finding a place to get it worked on, I HAVE to believe that a few of your local marine buddies around base have some classics/mustangs. Just figure out where they go to get their cars worked on. i can speak highly of epic motorsports and force-fed performance, but they generally deal with subarus/evos. Just ask around. You'll find a good shop.
