Biggest issues will be seized brakes and flat battery.

The fluids should be OK but best change the engine oil and brake fluid any way.

Charge up the battery and strip down and clean the brakes and it will be fine.

prob is messed up; for one thing, gas turned gummy and if you tried to start the car, that gum be pulled into the fuel system clogging it.

drain & replace all fluids including brake fluid which could have water settled out and damaged the brake lines. i would turn the engine over manually in case cylinders are stuck. trying to start engine then could damage it.

prob needs new gas tank.

Yes, it can easily be messed up. I recommend draining the oil and gas before trying the start the engine it self, so you avoid more work in the end.

Maybe you should stay out of prison and it won't have to sit so long.

Flat battery. Brakes and clutch seizing on.

should disconnect battery and drain engine oil, trans oil. all gasoline.

tough to do if you don't know how. i don't.

if you did nothing with the fuel system your gas has probably turned to sludge. Should do a fuel system flush.

it should be started and running the motor every week , do it now , check battery first .

I have this car sitting in the drive way it hasn't been touched in a year and a half hasn't been started or anything it still has old gas and oil in it I'm working on getting it up and running could it be messed up for sitting out there so long?
