My concern is the vehicle sat for five years.

Suggested things to go through... Feel free to add to the list or tell me I'm full of it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

1: Fuel system with a tank inspection for rust and debris and crud.

2: Wiper pivots may need lube.

3: Front wheel bearings, check the grease and the preload.

4: Brake fluid, change it inspect the caliper slides.

5: Ignition wires.

6: Inspect the cooling system, heater core and all hoses. The valve for the heater control can develop leaks.

7: Drive chain for the balance shafts, make sure its adjusted.

8: Upper control arm pivots: Check for play and lube.

9: Shocks, make sure they are not rusted or leaking.

10: Make sure you dont have any coolant getting into the oil.

That's a start...
