I had a very nice looking 91T light blue hatch. Under the hood and body were beautiful. The car was from Maryland so I didn't think of rust. Fixed all the typical things. It was running great. Much to my surprise a year later I found the front lower control arm frame mount area was distintergrating. Look at that area closely. It eventually went to the crusher still looking lovely. Frame could have been fixed but the deciding factor was the sunroof damage. The local uphostery shop did a headliner. They misaligned the sunroof panel and tried to force it closed with the motor. Destroyed one of the drive cables. It wouldn't close after that.
