Default recommissioning the B2 80

Hi,

My 1986 Audi 80 CL 1.6 has been off the road (in my garage) for the past couple of years. I have kept the battery charged, started it once a month, and I'm going to put it back on the road (as a spare car in case my daily Octavia TDI gives up the ghost).

It starts, although it seems that the fuel pipes (it is a Weber carb) seem to shrink with age, as they need a lot of tightening.

Brakes are free, it drives forwards and backwards on my drive OK.

Going to take it for an MoT in a few days (got insurance for it for £192!!! fully comp inc business use).

Anything anyone recommends?

Oil change?

Air filter?

Or just fill it with Shell V power and go for it?

I already have a set of winter tyres and wheels for it............
