(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) i'm falling in love with these cars and presently shopping for a 2.0. i've got my eye on a 1975 (no engine rebuild) but looks great with around 50k miles. what kind of work can i expect to do on it? (no rust) how can i obtain a vehichle history report to research history for accidents etc? should i spend over 5k for original one in great shape or restored? what should i look for? help!

Oh and body panel fit. Check door caps, trunks, headlights etc. A dead give a way if the car has real bad pans/rust is to jack it up then see how the doors open and close. Stay away if they don't close right.
