Misc Tech / new ride~87 Cougar that has not been driven for 2 years...help!
New guy here, picked up an '87 xr7 that has not been driven for two years. The upside to this is that it was garage kept the entire time and the rust is minimal. I'm looking for some advice on where to start to make it safe and drivable. I was going to start with a tune-up, checking the coolant and if its bad flush it, change oil, and add fuel stabilizer or siphon out gas. Any thoughts on anything else, especially with the brakes or fuel system? Also, should I stick with Motor Craft plugs and wires?
Thanks.
