Might be good to do engine oil and filter, flush and fill coolant,
replace battery. Make sure the engine turns over with fresh oil.
Initially you might refill the oil filter with a lower viscosity for
primary oiling to crank, rods and pan. Next replace thermostat and then
move on to the list.

I'll check the coolant and oil levels and condition, also see if I can
get a sample of the ZF fluid to see what shape it's in. I'll also take
a look at the brake and clutch fluids, get air in the tires and make
sure the brakes aren't seized. What other things should we look for
before trying to get this car running?
