His not for sale and I want to store him until he is able to be put on club registration in around 5 years. I've thought about this and want people's thoughts.
Trust option is simply keep him registered and drive it every few months down the freeway. Keep tank full and add fuel stabiliser. That's $850 rego plus around $350 insurance.
Next option is to completely store him long term.
I'm thinking flush coolant, siphone the fuel tank completely. Maybe take fuel pump relay and and run it dry. Chock the wheels and leave the handbrake off in neutral. Take rego and insurance off. He's in the garage and it's always dry, just dusty.
LPG doesn't go off so that's all good.
Then I figured when the time came, full up with fuel and away we go..... Maybe!
Does this sound ok?

If planning long term storage, do you still want to be able to move the car if it's in the way occasionally otherwise, I'd also consider raising it off the ground?
