Aloha from Hawaii

Hello, my name is Albert. Thank you for allowing me to join this group. I’ve recently inherited my fathers 1969 Subaru 360 van after his passing. Unfortunately I was not able to learn the ins and outs of properly maintaining it before he left. My goal is to have it shipped to Hawai’i and back on the road ASAP.
It hasn’t been registered since 2013, and been kept in the garage ever since. My father being a mechanic and having owned multiple 360 trucks/vans throughout the years must have maintained it properly because every year I would visit (up until 2019) it would always run. I’m just not able confirm what exactly he was or was not able to do. Im currently in the process of reading Through the book of reprints to get a better understanding. I’ll have a better idea what shape the van is when I come to California to pick it up.
If anybody has any tips or advice on how to ensure that I have taken every step necessary to make sure it’s properly maintained before I get back on the road that would be greatly appreciated. E.g oil change, fluids check, brake inspection etc. please forgive me I’m not that mechanically inclined. My hope is to change that thanks to all the info provided in the book of reprints
Mahalo for your time
