Well, if you ONLY want to see if it will start, then the only other thing you will need to do, is put in fresh fuel (that means the entire system) and keep a fire extinguisher handy. HOWEVER, anything more - replace all rubber (fuel line, brake lines), basic tune-up parts (points, condensor, etc). I'd probably also rebuild the carb & fuel pump. You'll also likely need to watch all of your seals. Basically, anything that is rubber and been sitting will potentially need to be replaced (such as the grommet in the fuel line behind the fire wall if your year beetle has one). - DB
