vx find, but has been sitting for 12 years!

so i found a civic vx i think its a 93, sitting in the woods parked 12 years ago. ran great when parked but, thats a long time. the guy wants $150 ish for it, interior is shot! would need seats and carpet at least. engine compartment looks good, no evidence of mice etc. looks clean, oil looks good. there is no rust at all.
at 150k miles if i had to redo brakes etc. that would be ok, but i am wondering what else i need to look out for before i try to get it running, i was told i should pull the plugs and pour some marvel mystery oil down each cylinder before i try to turn it over, any other wisdom you guys might have before i make any stupid mistakes. my internet is spotty but i will check back as i can thanks for any thoughts even if you tell me to walk away now and never look back!
thanks-bryn
