Okay, so this aerostar has been sitting for 2 years, and I'd like to try to fix it up. The battery is completely gone, it has acid all over it. It wont start, and my mom said the only thing she remembers about the car is that it was over heating, and the fan didn't work. She said it might need a new thermostat and that it wasn't the radiator? Haha anyways, I wanted to see where I should start to getting this thing fixed.

Hello,

Well, you will need to drain gas tank cause 2 year old gas won't ignite, and put fresh gas in it, replace fuel filter. Next I would recommend a tune-up, Plugs and wires for now.

But, first I would put battery in and check compression.
