Check trans fluid, oil, coolant etc to see if it all looks normal. Check gaskets for any visible leaking or seepage. Most notably on the lower intake manifold, the oil pan gasket etc.
Take the car for a drive, see if the trans shifts normally at temperature. Give the car a good broad RPM check. Dry rotted tires, hoses, etc.

check suspension, push front and rear up and down and see how fast it stops bouncing. if it keeps going for a bit struts are probably bad.
