Good to know, thanks Dena! I always topped off because I didn't want any room for condensation. It is going to go several months without additional gas. I plan to run it long enough for everything to get to operating temp and smooth out any flat spots monthly.
I do haul out the battery...
I know Ford recommends an oil change going into and coming out of storage, but that seems wasteful. I am planning an early oil change right at the start of the season next year. I figured with only 1k miles on it, the engine would forgive me if I gave until spring.
I haven't heard about...
Well, 6 weeks and 1,000 miles later, I find the days getting shorter and cooler. I bought the convertible for top-down cruising, and driving with the top up just isn't as fun for me. Now that I'm getting hit with leaves as I drive, it's time to store her today.
Here's my storage protocol...
I'm sorry. I don't have a part number for the wheels. They came standard on the GT with performance pack. If you go to the build and price page on Ford's website, you might find more information there.
Awesome, thanks! All of my budget mods are coming together nicely! I'm at about $500 in with this strap, the strut brace plate, convex mirrors, car cover, and windshield shade. Double that if we're counting tier 1 gas! :cwl:
Looks good! I ordered the complete assembly version. Hopefully it bolts right up as advertised.

Comfort is a tough one to advise on. They will be a more snug fit for sure. If the dealer is within a reasonable range, take a drive down and check it out.
If you have a deposit on the other order, just make sure it's fully refundable before you walk away from it.
I agree. I'll drive a few miles and check on it. Some of the stuff I have used from Gorilla is pretty strong and should handle some vibration. Heat will be interesting to see how that hold's up. Might end up becoming a fridge magnet if this doesn't work out.
It's a little unclear because there are no "options" really. What you have to do is complete the purchase, then contact the seller via ebay using their "contact the seller" button on the right side of the screen when the purchase is made. Here's what I emailed the seller via ebay:
1. Engine...
I was a little disappointed to open the hood on my GT PP and see three pre-drilled holes on the strut brace bar. I know it's not a DH, but they couldn't slap something on there?
I'm taking a chance on ebay and hopefully this will work out. I'll update the post either way when it comes in...
