She's awake !
 
Weather has really taken an upward swing here with temps expected to get close to 20 deg in the week, so I figured it was time to rearrange the garage into Summer mode.

Cleared out all the stuff from under the Mustang and woke her up. Just let her idle on the driveway to warm her through and check all systems.
Now I'll tell the insurance she's backon the road and book her in for the first ride, to the dealer for the airbag recall :eek:

Quick opinion check - I had a full oil/filter change prior to storage. The Synthetic oil is clear as water now still of course, but I wondered if there was any reason at all to change it again before use ? What's the general consensus... ?

Also, I whacked some petrol preservative/additive in the tank when I filled it up for storage, I'm guessing that it's best to run it right down to [almost] zero before refilling the tank, or is it totally benign and not worth worrying about?

Before, during and after

Your glassback is insanely beautiful.
I love your license plate as well.
Must feel good to get her going again!

How long was your car sitting up on the lift?

It originally went up early November although it did come down for a few days to go into the bodyshop. It also had a dust cover on it for the duration.

I always change prior to storage and never drain in spring, the fuel additive is not an issue either. I`ve winter stored quitea few G.Q.`s over the years, some late model, some 35 years old.
Never had a problem. J.M.O.
