Long term storage?
Folks, the time has come for me to put down the SVX for a while...sailors don't really make all that much money to begin with...and trying to keep her on the road is starting to show the signs of a paycheck to paycheck struggle. The list of reasons is long, but the list of reasons for NOT selling her is longer. So, I've come to the conclusion that it's time to put her away for a little while. Probably about 3 - 4 years or so. She's gonna stay in a garage, that the temps range from relatively warm to relatively cool.
Now, on to the Questions: Do I put her up on jackstands? Tires and Rims come off, right? Do I drain all the fluids including gas? How do I prevent rusting on the rotors? Just Fire and Theft is all i'd need on her, or would it be covered under someone's (IE Parents) homeowners policy? What's the best kind of car cover I could get? What kind of preparation do I have do to the car? (IE Undercoating, spraying oil on the engine...) I want to do this right...so she'll hopefully be exactly the same when I go to fire her up in a few years. When she does come out of storage though...she's gonna get a complete overhaul, expanses be damned. Brakes...Interior....engine....everything.
