Thanks for the tips everyone. I already received the Bentley manual, and have parts on order for the following:
  • Oil Change (went with M1 0W-40, seems like a contentious topic)
  • Spark plugs. Did not order new boots. Will check them out when plugs come in.
  • Air intake filter
  • Cabin air filter

Once done I'll go from there.

Also,
 
zip tie the mesh wind blockers to the roll bar to prevent them blowing away or walking off. When you get some, sorry, just noticed you don't have any.

this is what I think is the answer to the question. I think do this then drive and learn the car?

Finally got the cover off and into the engine bay. Found the power steering reservoir is nearly empty. I plan to refill with proper Pentosin fluid. Does the power steering normally need topping off?

Hey Borin:
See a 986 Forum chat on PS Fluid here: http://986forum.com/forums/performance-technical-chat/32723-power-steering-fluid.html
Also mentions filling techniques and experience with low levels...
