What you need to know most is you can do it, get it running, if you WANT to. It just takes being stubborn, and patient. This board will help you all the way.

Fastest is to read the FAQ's, Google search any topic, questions you have first. Over many years every question has been asked and answered multiple times.

From your photos, start by doing a clean and inspect tour of the car. Before trying to start it, make sure there's nothing in it to cause damage when it fires up. I.e., change oil, and the more fluids, filters, the better.

Thanks for answering, Hanson

I inspected the oil before starting it up and it was like new. The air filter is not so good and today I checked the spark plugs and they all fire up, although one of the plugs (n6) looks way cleaner than the rest.
