Newby Questions regarding 87 Supra Turbo

Wsup man, welcome to the supra club! So I would probably just replace the timing belt, even if it does only have 70k, it is a 20+ year old car. As for the coolant, I do know that prestone coolant is yellow so maybe the previous owner used that, but flushing it out and changing it wouldn't hurt. As for the headgasket, doing a HG replacement can be pricey so that depends on your budget. But there are ways to detect if you are starting to have a BHG (can easily search it up), so I would start with that first. You could also take it to a mechanic to have them inspect it and see if they notice anything serious/damaged/and notable. Hope this helps
