More bad advice then good. As usual.. Bunch of apartment dwelling yuppies who get all their knowledge reading other peoples posts. Got my first car when I was 12. Been working on cars for 65 years. Continuously.. I have never opened an engine that was rusted inside, even those, that had been stored for 20 years, as long as it was kept dry. Always oily inside, cylinders, crank, bearings, everything. Waste of my time reading all the blather.. Maybe I should just go away for a few years, like I did last time.
YMMV

PS: Just crank it and go man. Put some miles on it. Find a quiet place and smoke the tires. Shine it up pretty and go to car meets. Meet some like minded people. If you have a wife or GF, dress up and strut. If not, use your car as bait and go get one. Live! Take a trip somewhere. Put some miles on it. At the end of the summer, change the oil and filter, go for a Sunday drive, when you get home, clean it up, inside and out, park it, put on the car cover, let it sleep through the bad days. Your not getting any younger. DO SOMETHING!
PPS: My 65 GTO got me a a great GF, Who became my wife 47 years ago, this June 3rd.
