Dave;

Only drive it home (and easy, save the high performance stuff for later!) if the brakelines look decent as far as rust goes, AND the car passes an around-the-block-test (including several hard stops) AND if the e-brake is adjusted and works well...a single hydraulic brake system of unknown condition has NO back-up except the e-brake. If it should fail for whatever reason, it could turn this nice experience into a very bad day! Before this around-the-block-test, obviously, check and top up all fluid levels, and during roadtest keep and eye on temp guage to verify thermostat is opening to keep temp under control...things can get sluggish after prolonged nonrunning.

Good Luck
