ehh probably not a good call on only leaving alittle gas in it, should have kept it full with stabill. That gas is probably nasty now with a lot of moisture.

Well, the battery is dead, got another and started it. Started up like a champ! Got some Mobil 1 10w30, oilfilter, some gas/fuelinjector treatment. I will change it tomorrow and fix the panhard rod problem.

Then I will try to tackle the other stuff, like a radiator flush, rearend oil change, clutch/brakefluid change, what else?
