Best way to revive a car from long term storage

I'm looking at a '73 220D that has been in storage for over 10 years. Of course, I got the "ran fine when parked" story. Currently the starter will spin it, but no glow lite and it won't even pop. Here is my plan (if I buy it): change all fluids/filters, drain fuel tank, new battery and convert to pencil GP's and pull and clean injectors. What else should I need to do to get it running?
