Anyway. Found answers to few questions I had already, so great forum, but 1 question is still not answered.
Are floor mats available anywhere?

The cylinder walls may be dry from the car not being started in a long time. Try removing the spark plugs and adding a couple tablespoons of 10W (or 10W-30) oil to each cylinder. Let it sit a couple days and try cranking again.
