Besides replacing all of the liquids, what should I look at before I get it up and running? The Radiator light and the brake light are both on.



Thanks,

Chris

the brake light is an easy fix it could jus be the little yellow box on the rear of the car under the panel by the driver side taillight

and the radiator, ranges from a few fixes
1) top off the reservoir
2) fill the radiator up and bleed the whole system, as there might be trapped air in the system,
3) it could be the sensor on the reservoir, it could have went bad, giving wrong readings

getting a car started from 10 yrs ago,
i guess an oil change is in order,fuel filter, clean out the gas tank
as some gunk could have built up in the bottom of it
as with the lines too, hopefully it hasnt
fuel, air and spark, thats what you basically need to start the car
good luck with your gift,
i bet it still is in mint condition since it hasnt been abused all these years
