Blaze, lets see.... How about the braking system. Check for any leaks at the wheel cylinders and make sure everything is free and operable. Ummm.. Grease everything up real good ,steering,suspension, u-joints. I'm guessing that you have put fresh fuel in it. Condition of tires, shocks. Correct operation of all electrically operated componants. Cooling system- flush entire system. Change radiator cap or just check if you have the means to do so. Replace thermostat. Check condition of hoses. Well, in general, just check everything!! Good Luck
