Default Light of Day...

I'm going to take the pcar out of storage tommorow or the day after. Now my plan is put the battery back it, hope it starts, head to the gas station (it's at like 1/3 tank I think), then go for a 30-40 minute cruise. Come back wash and wax the thing.

I'll probably check tire pressure, and maybe a couple other things

Anything else I should be doing or checking?

Thanks.

oil, coolant and brake fluid level, before you go and check again when you are back.
Wake her up slowly and have fun

Fluids were up, and so I put the battery in, and....

it started up first try, as if it had only been sitting for a few hours. I was impressed. After that I decided to wash and wax it. Then it started raining so I never got around to driving it yet haha.

Anyway, the funny thing is I found a peanut shell inside the engine bay. It seems some squirrel was in there over the winter. Grr

I've just uploaded some more recent pictures here. The bottom few I took just the other week, when I had the cover off. I wanna take more though, cause it's really shiny now after I waxed it.
