Whose doing it this year?

When are you putting em away.

I'm putting mine away next weekend, I know Kyle put his away a week ago.

Then you have Justin and Nick who are on 'long term' storage, haha.

Anyone else putting them away this year?

She more or less, put her self away, I was planning on keeping her out longer. Also does'nt help one of my roommates pulled his shitty SVX up to the garage door to work on the fuel lines, and let it sit. He drove it up there over a month ago, and since I've had to push it back and forth to get my car out. He has not touched it yet.

And yeah, thats the same car that kept me from keeping the car at 06designs place for 2 months last Spring... :x

You have me who is going to store different parts in varius places (front end sheet metal). Hopefully I will have all of the drivetrain work done before spring. Paint probably won't get done for awhile, but I am ok with that.


Wait until you see my interior tomorrow, which is short term storage :shock:

Ditto.

I will have my front end up in my garage, along with parts of my rear to get some paint work and stuff done.

The 'shell' aka most of the car, will be down at the storage garage.

Then in my room, I have my new tires, most of my big brake kit, and a bunch of suspension pieces I'm changing :)

Is that what most of you do, top the tank and add fuel stabil?

Mine will get put away soon, I'm playing it by ear. No snow, then I'll keep it out.

I usually fill the tank, and add the stabil too. I also take out the battery, and put it up on jack stands, then let out a little air from the tires. Then finally, put a cover on it for a long winter nap.

Jacking it up isn't entirely necessary with modern tires but it can prolong tire life.

Now on my dad's car it does have to be off the ground or the tires would be "D" shaped in the spring.

Stabil is a good idea.

I'm not jacking mine up. I'm gonna let it sit and rot away my corded Kumho MX's haha.

Also to add to the parts list...

At Al's I have ("On Order" one could say...):

-Black SVT carpet :)

-The core parts for my SVT-Hybrid Brake Swap

-A new alternator... to hopefully kill off my hidden electrical issue of my impending insanity...
