I got my first look and drive of the new addition today...
Starts fine, shifts sloppy (checked trans fluid and its very bad), motor is very noisy, and has way more miles than was stated on eBay (over 170k). Its a pig. I'm gonna need lots-o-help and maybe a trunk monkey to get this looking and running right.

at least the cat likes it
looks like it has a good number of common problems...nothing that cant be fixed if you can find a nice parts car in the local yard and some touchup with the paint.

Its gonna get a full-blown repaint, probably by end of the year. I would like to do a S2 swap and possibly a Megasquirt computer. But I will have to get it running right first and foremost as I can't have an untagged car here and I doubt I can work on it at a storage unit.

Unfortunately, it looks like you have some rust under the spoiler. A new paint job is the only fix for that one. I would check the rear fenders where they are overlapped by the buper cover. That'* another spot where plastics rubs on paint and causes rust.
Other than that, looks like standard wear and tear.
