Default driving car after 1 year an a half not driven.

Hey my car literally a week or 2 b4 its put back together and painted.

I didn't drive it for like 1 yr and a half. LAst time i started the car was last june that passed. Its been sitting in my driveway , then was brought to the body shop sitting there. After it's painted im going to tow it to a mechanic either dave yo or if my buddy locally isn't busy then him. Im just curious what I have to look for, What i should replace for a tuneup. Any pointers or tip's if anyone has experienced not driving a car for this period of time. Please help me out an let me know what the outcome was. Thank's

i didn't change the belts as my car was stored in a tempature controlled garage.
but if it sits outside the weather changing can cause the belt to expand and retract so thats a good idea as well marko
