Man you really got screwed, the steering wheel and pedals were installed on the wrong side. That will be very expensive to move

All seriousness aside

Welcome and it looks like it will be a great car
Tons of info and help here. You also should checkout boxa.net, its a similar forum, but UK based and may be helpful for cars with the wrong side drive.

At very least, change the oil before doing anything else. You change all the fluids, Oil, Trans, brake flush, etc

Do a 60k mile service as well.

Hah! I'm not at all sure that I didn't get royally screwed!

You know - the oil smells so strongly of fuel it just may be contributing. Good thinking 99. Besides, I don't want that IMS bearing sitting in oil of unknown vintage any longer than it already has
