My car is a 90 N/A and as the topic states the car has not been started in over 2 years. The car was mint when it was parked other than it needs a new clutch cylinder which happened to go the day it went into storage, but due to a series of unforseen life circumstances the car has been in a garage on jack stands now for 2.5 years.

I know there is a high possibility of the motor now being seized/etc. I pray not though. I would really appreciate any advice that can be offered as I am planning on picking up a new battery for it this week and attempt to start the car up this weekend. What are the steps I should take in this case. I will bring some fresh gas for it, battery and likely change the oil prior to trying to turn it over but is there anything specific I should be looking for given the lenghty time the car has been parked.

Any help would be really appreciated.

you got the new battery, thats good. try to turn the pulley's by hand, that'll help tell you if it's seized or not. before you start it, maybe put a little of oil into the sparkplug holes... just a little bit. Also, pull the EFI fuse and crank it a couple of times to build oil pressure, then replace, crank and pray! If it started fine when you put it into storage, I would feel confident that it will start with a little coaxing. Have some jumper cables ready though!
