Welcome! That's good it was stored in a garage, it looks like it's in pretty good condition with not too many miles. You're going to enjoy it, make sure to show pictures of your progress.

Re: Hello Everyone!!!
Welcome to the forum! After sitting that long the timing belts will need to be replaced. If one breaks there will be valve and or piston damage. Do a search for replacing timing belts. Age is the determining factor not mileage in your case. There will be lots of info on how to do it.
