Hi. I have a 1978 Mitsubishi Lancer. The starter has a problem so the engine hasn't been run for more than a year now. I couldn't jump start the car because it's parked in a peculiar way (in between two columns/post). The battery is now drained and the radiator has rust particles floating inside it. I am afraid that there are worse things that could have happened as a consequence to letting the car sit for more than a year in the garage. Can you please help me out on what I should instruct the mechanic to do? So far here are the things that are on my list:
1. Change all 4 tires (although the tires were barely used, I bought it more than 5 years ago)
2. Manually make ikot the engine?
Thanks. Selling the car is not an option because it's been with us even before I was born. I hope you guys could help me out. I really feel guilty because I neglected the car for so long.
