Going to park the 77 under a portable shade and begin a gradual rebirthing process.
Nothing radical.
Jackstand four corners.
Pull wheels off and access bleeders.
Gravity bleed all brakes and slave cylinder.
Pull bib and hood and rotate 2F.
Drain and inspect oil volume.
Cut filter.
Flush radiator.
🤠
