Bringing a car back from storage

Hey folks, i have a 00 Civic Si that was stored more than a year ago. at the time it was stored it was a full tank of gas and there was a fuel stabilizer put in. now i'm wondering since it's been over a year is the gas still good ? what should i do so i can get this car back on the road.

Any suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks

change oil, coolent, etc.....

I wouldn't worry about the gas if you put stabilizer in it...unless you can drain it easily on that car...
