I am retiring the end of Feb and am going to retire my 03 Gt with 85k on it. I will change all fluids, wax it good and dress the tires. The car will be stored in my carport with a cover and blocked up under the frame to take pressure of the suspension and tires.. My question is how do I preserve the rotors?
Did I miss anything? |

Since it's outside you should remove them from the elements. Moisture equals rust.
Or paint them with some cheapo paint then remove the paint with brake cleaner when it comes time to use them again. |

I am going to one car because I am retiring and can only afford/need one car.

If I were in your place I would; 1. Add a can of STABIL to the gastank and run it for 5 minutes to make sure that the protected gas has spread throughout the entire system. 2. Park it and put a container of something like DAMP RID on the floorboard. Put on the car cover. 4. Every three weeks or so I would start it up and let it idle for 10 minutes or so and run it back and forth through the gears several times to get the tranny up to operating temp. 5. Use all the bells 7 whistles (lock-unlock doors, turn on a/c, roll windows up & down, etc., etc. to keep them workin gfreely. 6. Move it around in the driveway braking frequently. Probably drive it up and down my street and let it idle for another 10 minutes after pulling it back in place. Make sure that the tires are not in the same position that they were before I drove it to prevent flat spots. 7. Letting it run this long will rid the crankcase of any moisture accumulation from sitting. Just to make sure, I would continue to change the oil at least once a year. The biggest advantage to doing it this way, is that the PT will remain a part of your life and keep you young. ![]() ![]() Jerry |

As usual you're having trouble with 'comprehension'. If you'll read my post again SLOWLY, I'm obviously suggesting to him to NOT put it on blocks.

He already said that is what he is going to do, he is asking about his rotors specifically.
Go back to bed, you're cranky ![]() |

I might suggest that if the financial need to park it isn't going to change. That selling while everything is in good order might be best in the long run.
