My spree has been sitting in the garage for probably 8 years. Last time I drove it all was fine, though it never had a battery that worked. I've been trying to kick start it like I always did, but no go.

What are the first few things to try to get it running?

I do some basic stuff on my car (alternator & starter changes, tune ups, some exhaust work, coolant flush, etc) but have never worked on the Spree before. I don't really know where to start. Thanks for any suggestions!
