Advice on what i should do to get my mustang 2 up and going !!

I have a mustang 2 with a 302 it starts but it hasnt been ran since 2002 i need avice on what should i replace on it to make it a reliable car
 
What have you done to it in terms of general maintenance and what kind of condition is it?
Just a short list off the top of my head. I'm sure there's more.
If the oil hasn't been recently changed, do it. Check all the belts and hoses, anything dry rotted should be replaced. Check the brakes and bleed them. Check for leaks in the brake system. Flush the cooling system. Replace the tires.

Safety first , so change the tires ( probably too old ) and renew the brake fluid.
Check the complete brake system and do a brake test at a test bank.
Change oil and oil filter.If the engine sat still for almost 10 years , spray a bit of WD40 through the spark plug opening , let it soak , and manually rotate the engine for a few turns.
Replace spark plugs while you at it .
Replace also the fuel and ad an additive for cleaning the carb with the fuel.
Check radiator hoses and coolant.
Is the coolant some kind of braun water , flush the system and add antifreeze to your coolant water.
anything else ??? :confu :confu
