Default Age/Sitting Damage on Car and Engine, how impacting is this?

I am thinking of getting an integra with a blown motor in it and replacing it. However the car has been sitting absolutely still for about 1.5 years, close to 2. How much extra damage has this "sitting spell" added if any?

A friend of mine said that the bearings in the axles might go bad over time cuz moisture could creap up inside and begin a rusting sequence.

He also said that the AC might be long gone, might need a whole new system?

Since the engine is blown, that doensn't matter, but theoretically how much would it hurt the engine and tranny?

I'm sure the part of the tire thats sitting on the pavement has dry rotted, maybe need a new set of tires now.

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I put up a thread in the integra forum about how much a person would pay for this car. Its a 93 LS hatch. If you have an opinion on that, throw that in too.

Thanks!

Dave
