Default Picked up a 1999 SS Few Questions

Alright guys, I picked up a 1999 SS on friday as a roller and have a few questions.

Let me tell you the background on the car. Its got 72k miles on the clock. Has the following mods to it now.

Strange 12 bolt, spool 4.10s
Qa1 Adj out back
Qa1 coilovers up front
All BMR/umi suspension (pan hard, torque arm, lcas, subframe con, etc)
D & D Viper Spec T56
Spec stage 5 clutch
Aluminum flywheel
Fast 90/ NW 90 MM TB
42lb injectors
U/D pulley
Kooks 1 7/8 headers
no motor
the list can continue.

The car has been sitting like this inside from the weather in a warehouse for three years. The original owner had WAAAAY too much money, cars, and toys. He pulled the motor to put it in his Fox Body, and never did anything with this car.

What maintenance would you do to the car? The tranny? The rearend? Flow test injectors? Any other things that I didnt mention?

Have the trans checked by a shop, flow test the injectors yes... change rear end fluid, make sure the tires are still good. I am sure I can think of some more but I am taking a little break from finals studying right now and need to get back to it.

Nice find BTW.

Check all fluids actually, power steering, brake, flush the radiator, check the brake pads/rotors and make sure they still look good. The brakes will probablty be okay but it doesn't hurt to check. Check the condition of the wires in case the critters got to them. I think that may cover it.
