I'm in the process of resurrecting several abandoned Subaru's, so maybe we can help each other out? Of course, my cars have sat for at least 5 years.
I doubt you'll have all the same problems I'm having/will have, though.
Since the fuel goes to pot after such a long time, you gotta drain the fuel tank. Not only that, but bear in mind that there's all that gunk in your fuel system; ie: lines, injectors, etc. All that gunk will eventually work its way out, but at the exspense of your injectors and spark plugs. Don't bother buying a nice set of spark plugs right away. A set of $1 plugs will do fine, since they'll gunk up pretty soon anyway. Clean the injectors and plugs as often as possible, as well as change the oil as often as possible. Also flush the coolant along with the oil changes. Basically, all the fluids in the car are crap, and you've got to get them out before any damage is done to the car. As with any oil change, replace the oil filter, too. Replace it each time you change the oil; as the oil will be full of junk, too.
Of course change the obvious things like the battery, air filter, and maybe spark plug wires; depending on milage.
It'll take a little while to get the motor and tranny back to their original running condition. I'd run premium gas and a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in every tank for a while to be sure.
I hope you don't have the same problem with ants that I do.
