74 MGB sitting up for 10 years

    74 MGB sitting up for 10 years

    It's been 10 years since my MG came out of the garage.  Had been running well, but a renovation kept me from pulling it out back in 98.  Once I tried to start it, the battery died....waited...new battery, then the fuel pump died.  Next comes baby, and the MG stayed put.  I need to get it going again.  What would be the first things I need to do to get it going?  Haven't done any mechanic work for 10 years, but rebuilt the SU's right before it sat up.

    My current plan is to make sure the tires are usable.  Next comes fuel system check, ignition system check, brakes, oil change, then pray when I try and turn it over.   Any specifics or additional info that I need to think about would be greatly welcomed!  Thanks
