[Mgs] MGB maintenance after 3+ years not driving?

[Mark Wise]

As I mentioned in a previous post, I am going to try to get my 1980 MGB 
back on the road after a long hiatus.  Due to changes in family, work, 
etc. the poor car has only been driven once in the past several years.  
Now my two young boys ask me daily when they'll get to "ride in the 
green car".  Sadly, neither have ever seen it on the road.

In two weeks, my Dad will be flying out to help me work on the car.  We 
will be installing a Crane XR700 ignition, as the first step.  The 
ignition was always a problem with that car.  Assuming that the new 
ignition will actually get the car running, does anyone have suggestions 
for some other maintenance to-do's that I should plan on doing with the 
car before I take it on the road?  We'll definitely be changing the oil 
and filter.   Anything else?

Thanks for you help!
