Damn, outside? Say goodbye to your car.

I stored a friends car outside on some property, after 9 months there was mold growing inside, just from natural condensation.
Then again I didnt turn it on very often.

Unless you are willing to turn it at least (very minimum) every month, drive it around the neighborhood (or where ever you live), then outside is not a friendly place for a car. Especially in wet BC.
Also, don't forget about bugs, insects, squirrels and rats (yes they can and WILL make a home in your engine bay if they are cold and shelter less). A friend had their entire electrical system chewed through by some rat or some creature that made a home in his engine bay while it was stored outside.
It depends on where you live, exactly where the car is sitting, etc etc. Details if you want more help.
