Default P38 out of hibernation...what's next?

I'm back in the fold after a long hiatus. I've just pulled my P38 out of the garage after sitting for two years. At the time that it was parked/stored, it required a head gasket job and radiator after overheating while traveling on the freeway. How have other members prepped their rigs after having sat for months or years? Thanks!

After doing the head gaskets, radiator and coolant, flush the brake fluid, PS fluid and change all of the other fluids. Then you will be ready to fix all of the electrical issues that will be popping up.

Yikes, that's a long time for a Rover to sit. How many miles are on it? What is it's overall condition? Are you able to do all the work yourself? If not, you may end up spending more than it is worth getting it going again. Lots of little things are going to need attention.
