Engine recommission - advice? (Not Alpine)

[SunbeamAlpine64@aol.com]

Hi 

This weekend I'll be taking delivery of a 1968 Reliant Scimitar Coupe fitted 
with a Ford 3lite V6. The car hasn't moved in 18years but the engine turns by 
hand. 

Are there any special precautions to take before trying to fire her up for 
the first time? Any particular checks to do? 
(I intend to check the fule line, change oil & filter, rinse out the tanks 
with new petrol, fit new plugs & points, fan belt, battery, coolant) 
Anything else? 

Thanks
Mark
