1. remove and replace all the fluids
2. check the belts for wear or cracks
3. check the hoses for leaks, wear, or dry rot.
4. check tires

what he said

just make sure shes good to go before ya get on it... your probably fine for driving a little while, but dont put too much wear & tear on it for a couple weeks till it gets back into the normal operating range.. Be prepared, it may not run well anymore... deposits may have formed in the engine & it might take it a bit of running & cleaning to get back to where it should be... have fun w/ it
