QUOTE (The_enD @ Nov 2, 2013 - 12:05 AM)  Is she going to be out or inside? She will be stored inside in a non heated garage but already got her winter blanket to help keep unwanted dust off her. QUOTE (mgnt232 @ Nov 2, 2013 - 1:52 AM) Unhook the battery for starters. But i would start it every once and a while, not really good for anything to sit too long You can put it up on jackstands (front and back). I do this with my chevelle just to get all the weight off the suspension parts and tires while its not going to be moving for an extended period of time. no point in wearing out parts just sitting. I dont think the gas would go bad in a short few months, but maybe get some fuel stabalizer (not exactly sure what its called) just to be safe give it a good wash and wax before you store is too Thanks for the tips. How about the oil, should I leave the current one (synthetic) with approximately 3000kms on it and change it when I get her running again or should I store it with clean and fresh oil. |

Then when I was ready to take it out, just drain the oil and put fresh oil in just because it had been sitting in there. TBH i have no idea if it really matters, just figured it couldn't hurt -------------------- I've spilt my heart into this car :) And I don't ever plan to stop  - 6GC for Life - >Semper Fi< 1994 Cupra :p 3sgte 1995 Celica ST DD 1969 Chevelle SS alllll balls.
