Where to start....

My 1987 GTA has been stored since 1998. It has had the oil changed on a regular basis up until 1998, at that time it was stored in my parents garage.

I recently had it towed to my house and rolled it into my garage.

Since the car has sat so long...I know it is in need of some TLC!!!

Where to start is my question?!?!?!?!

Do I drain all the fluids 1st? That was my thought, my worry is how do I address the sludge that has settled in the oil pan and other areas? I was going add some oil after draining some and than get the oil circulated by touching some jump cables to the starter.

Am I on the right track????

Any help with outling what I should do would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Thanks
