What to check after almost 4 years of sitting 200 1987

Well, I guess the time is here. Now that winter is almost over in the Rockies, I'm finally going to sell the Subaru and start driving the Volvo again. Problem is that outside of a trip to Lowes in 2008 and a few dozen trips around the neighborhood each year, it's been largely idle in my garage.

So with my last(hopefully, anyway) weeks of unemployment upon me, I'd like to start going through the car and fixing anything within my ability. The rest will get turned over to the local Volvo shop. That being said, what should I be looking for? I'm expecting to have to drain/refill (or use/refill) the gas tank, plus a new battery, oil change, etc. Beyond that, what should I expect?
