I'm thinking of starting things off with evaluating the engine on the car. First, I think a compression test is in order. Make sure the piston rings aren't shot. If that looks good, I'm thinking about weather to do an oil analysis or not. That should tell if anything has been wearing abnormally.

What else would you guys suggest looking at?
