Nice one mate. the price is really good but before you do anything else I would advise you to replace all fluids and inspect hoses. 5 Years seated in a garage is plenty of time to let rubber develop cracks

Hi & welcome to the forum .

Firstly check for cracks in all the tyres , they will be on the tyre walls and go around the tyre , then check ALL the other rubber bits.... ie topmounts , arb bushes , and all the suspension bushes .

Give the cooling system a really good flush , and refill .

If any of the electrics don't work , don't panic , as they can start working again if you try to use them frequently , for example the window switches need using a few times if it doesn't work at first , or it could just mean a change of fuse .

Enjoy !
