Default Has not run in a while

Hi all,

So life circumstances got in the way between my mustang and I. It has been in an insulated, but not climate controlled garage for 5 years and has not been started in a little less than 4 years. I am now in a position financially to get it back on the road. However, I am wondering if it is worth doing. I love this car and I have a lot of memories with it. Is the engine salvageable at this point. I realized all the lines and tires should be replaced. What am I looking at here. Any help is appreciated.

First thing is to flush and change all fluids and filters. Then a visual check. As long as no moisture got inside and caused havoc, everything should be fine.

yeah, should be ok as long nothing got wet. Change fluids and the battery may need to be replaced.
