did you change your i.d. picture? you should change your brake fluid too, every two years. Brake fluid absorbs moisture out of the air over time. Easy to do there are alot of ways, i use speed bleeders currently because i work at it alone but whatever it takes just pump it out with the pedal and then run a little extra new fluid through before you close the valves.. Gas too, your seeing "no rust" so the gas tank is out? either way drain it and if your concerned about the fuel settled in the lines that run through the tunnel (replace rubber/cloth fuel lines 2, the plastic ones are probably fine) just disconnect the lines as they come out the fire wall just below the engine shelf. You can flush them with either pressure, jack up front of car let it drain, connect a hose you can get too to the return line and or both while you have the tank out and funnel fresh gas through catching it on the other end or just blow it out..
