My wife and I acquired a 1981 Barclay Brown 4.9 Turbo TA with 57,000 miles.

Her dad had this car stored for 34 years.

He passed in January, and we want to get her back on the road in his memory.

He stored it correctly, up off the ground, covered in a dry garage.

Needs complete exhaust installed, which he had purchased a few years back, but never got put on.

I'm thinking of redoing all brakes, including lines, over the winter and draining and replacing all fluids.

Most likely, put a new radiator in as well.

Any other suggestions of what to do with them are welcomed.

There she sits after a quick wash.
