All filters and fluids, the battery, wiper blades, tires (dry rot), spark plugs, and anything that doesn't work.

I've got an old dustbuster ('90 Lumina APV) my uncle gave me with a 3.1l. My parents screwed me over with the title so it's been sitting for about 5 years now, I'll start it up every now and then, but things like the ignition coil got corroded so it runs a little rough from missing (ran perfectly fine when I got it, just needed the tranny replaced which I have). But the van needs pretty much all of this taken care of before it can be road worthy, so I just gave up on it.
