93 300D taking a year off
i have decided to take my 93 300D off the road for a year or so...

what preventative measures do you all recommend so that nothings wears, rusts, deteriorates, etc while it sits motionless for 365 through NJ summer and winter???

also...what things do you recommend i do inside as well as engine wise to it while i have it sitting?

i am basically taking it off the road so i can make it my project...
i plan a full stripping of interior pieces, cleaning, re-upholstering, re wiring stereo and other little electronic bits, etc, etc...

feedback would be great, anything you got...

thanks...

put it on jacks, cover it but buy a premium cover so that it can 'breathe'

I believe you're supposed to drain all fluids and maybe roll all of your windows down but don't quote me on this!
