Yup-fuel stabilizer
Will also remove wheels and store them indoors.-raise onto blocks to prevent tire flats
No idea how to check the %'s -make sure the coolant is at proper % for storage conditions
Before storage, or before running again? -change brake fluid to prevent water damage
Will do -remove battery and store out of way (just in case)
I plan on sitting in it from time to time, so I'm probably ok. -lube all door hinges and rear deck lid pins
THat must of been fun...-put mouse traps inside car (again, just in case)
Did your door not open to get into to open the hood?-pull hood release leaving hood closed, but "popped"
Good advice, but as the motor is shot, I'll probably leave it as is. -place foil over intake horn on airbox or seal with a "caplug"
There is moisture in the car, on sunny days, I'll try and open it up to keep there from being a buildup. I've run into nasty mildew in my life in an old building. -put about 4 lbs of dessicant on drivers seat (helps prevent mildew smell if there is any moisture in the car)
I'll do that. -If its going to be a REALLY long time, i have even sprayed the brake disks with a coat of WD-40 to prevent surface rust.
Thanks for the advice.
