Bought a Rollover (3rd gen) - what now before starting it?

[MVP]

So, I bought a rollover here a few weeks back and its at my buddy's house. Now figure I'll ask some advice to you guys. First the background story...

I'm here in the Phoenix area, and found a clean 1997 4WD that ended up upside down due to driver error. It has some good components on it, was really clean before the owner let his teenage son drive it and he somehow flipped it on its lid on a dry paved street :Cry:

The fire and rescue that greeted his son cut the lower wiring harness under the battery that contains all the starter/ground/alternator wires. I've fixed those to a large degree (backyard mechanic) and pulled the plugs. Upon attempting to start the engine, with the plugs out, it shot 5W30 out all over the hood and surrounding area.

Now I have fixed the wiring, and gotten the oil significantly out of the cylinders (it was unable to turn over prior to removing plugs and forcing the oil out). The starter spins it freely and it appears the repair job is okay on the wiring.

Checked the oil and filled the radiator and overflow. Things look okay.

I'm contemplating on whether or not I need to get new plugs, or just clean these with carb cleaner or starting fluid since they were covered in oil when I pulled them.

Looking for advice and input - so let 'er rip if you have any suggestions...

I'll be over where the runner is stored this weekend. It rolled so not sure what parts are good (certainly not the front fenders, front doors, and passenger mirror. Can't remember the shape of the drivers mirror.

At any rate, if I part it before putting it up for sale, I'll post here before CL.

Gotta grab the lift and wheels first, then crank it over with the cleaned plug and try to get her to fire up...

Winner is... Say F it and clean/use the existing plugs, then start it

Cleaned the plugs with brake cleaner, replaced a few blown fuses, and she fired right up.

Smoked like a SOB but it eventually burned off, and the engine runs like a champ.

Now what is next? Have to clean it up and see if anyone wants to buy a rollover that would make an excellent hunting vehicle (once the top is cut off)...
