Thumbs up

When was the last time anything was done to it? Does the odometer still work?

I would start with all rotational accessories as they wear pretty quick. Idlers, tensioner probably (100k is a good life from it), fan bearing bracket (mind that o-ring!), and a fan belt. Maybe a water pump if you have to do the tensioner. Sachs are the only fan clutches that work worth a damn. Then at least spark plugs, but give that cap and rotor a good eyeball. Service all fluids.

Inspect the rubber related to the CIS system closely. $100 and you can reseal it all in an afternoon. Stick with OE only, all else is crap. Same with the breather hoses and valve cover gasket.

Tint the glass to preserve the interior. Condition the leather big time.

BTW, car looks great!
