You're all right; it would be a shame to not at least try and rehab it. I'd like to get it road worthy to get it 100 miles from Queens, NY to the end of Long Island, NY where I have a garage. What should I do? It has five year old fuel in the tank. Can I try and fire it up with that or do I need to find a way to drain and refill? Anything to worry about regarding fuel and brake lines that might burst? I know I need to change the battery and replace the missing exhaust hangers.

Thanks in advance
