1. Check the belts and hoses. Check and replace as needed.
2. Replace tires.
3. Check the battery for corrosion on the connections. Potentially test/replace.
4. Replace all fluids.
5. Replace gas.
6. Find a friend and have them help you make sure your brake lights, turn signals, headlights and running lights work.
7. Lub hinges for doors, struts on hatch maybe.
8. Check your weather-stripping.
9. Check the owners manual for anything else, classic car maintenance cover a lot of similar items but not all are applicable. Normally rodents don't chew on wiring anymore because they use different plastic chemicals that don't taste like sugar to them anymore.

So I agree with everyone but I believe the tires were changed once already so verify dates and only change if needed. I would also get weatherstrip lubricant or spray silicon to do all the door rubbers etc. If it still doesn't run correctly possibly check that plugs are good no cracks etc. Overall deep cleaning and removal of leaves and debris. Waxing is a good option. Try to drive it a bit more...enjoy it while you have it. Glad you are looking to keep it maintained although I would definitely change out the brake fluid and clutch fluid more often. Good luck and I hope it runs smoother for you without to much work!!!
