Lots of great input! Nobody is wrong but here's what my order would be.
1. Get the motor running smooth. You haven't mentioned (or I missed it) how old the fuel is. If fuel has been in as long as the car has been sitting, it may very well be the majority of the rough running you are experiencing. Clear codes and run the car!
2. AFTER motor is running smoothly, change oil and filter. check other fluid levels.
3. After you've gained some confidence you have a good car (you do!). Tackle brakes, starting with fluid flush. Depending on your wheels, you can use your camera phone and seek how brake pads look. Rotor can be visually examined for a lip.
4. I respectfully disagree with changing the IMS/RMS at this point. Even thought the car came to you at no cost, it doesn't mean its worth trowing thousands into this repair. After the car is sorted AND if you decide to keep it, then consider their replacement.
I know there's lots of other stuff to think about doing, but until the car runs smoothly enough to think about keeping, what's the point?
