Question regarding after winter storage

Hi al

I plan to take my baby out this weekend after 4 months of storage (i know its a longtime but i was so busy and i'm getting new body parts for it thus....)

I'm worried about the mechanical condition. Before the storage, i changed a fresh Mobil1 oil, fuel was under 1/4 of the tank with fuel stabilizer, i took the wheels off and put the car on jackstand.

One mistake i made was forgetting to take the battery out. (am i stupid or what?)


B4 i start to drive it, i will put 10L 94octane and octane booster into the fuel tank. And i will drive it for 40 mins ( highway driving)


Can anyone tell me what else did i miss? Any tips?

Also in a week or so i will start getting suspension mods. I know its been sitting for quite a long time so i'm really worried.

Thank you all

It's ok to leave the tires on and on the ground,That's was a problrm with the old belted tires,You should have left the tank full as possible so moisture couldn't build up in the tank over the winter.I stored a 1989 mustang gt for 7 years without an issue..All i did was store it on a cement floor with pasltic on the cement so again moisture couldn't wick out of the cement and get at the bottom of the car.A dirt or wood floor is the worst way to store a car.I had mobil one also.with fuel stabilizer and a car cover.
All the rest you are talking about is a waste of time and money.Only problem is you may have water in your gas.Good luck
