restoring my '85 gsl. help?

hey i have a 1985 rx7 gsl stock 12a that im in the middle of restoring. i have never restored a car before i have the engine in and most of the acessories on still need to put the radiator, fan, belts, air pump, and spark plugs. is there anything else i should check before trying to run it?

Rebuild the carburetor. Replace plugs, wires, all hoses. Flush the tank and fuel lines.

It would help if we had a little history of the car.

If you haven't yet, read through the FAQs at the top of the 1st gen forum and dl the FSM and carb manuals. Check out the threads in the archives. They cover a broad range of repairs/restorations.
