Mike, I am hundreds of miles away but I can tell you some things to look for. 2nd. gens are notorious for rear frame and floor pan rot. Look carfully at the rear frame rails. Make sure the areas where the rear springs mount are good and solid.Also check the shock absorbor mounting areas. Its hard to find one without rusty floorboards and there are alot of places to buy replacment floorpans. Some rust is to be exspected just make sure it is not completly rusted out. Also check the firewall for rust. Really the only thing personally I would be scared of is rusty frame rails. I have seen them come through the rear floor board and trunk floor. Best of luck with it and let us know if you get it. Rob
