944s pre purchase inspection ?

Hello, guys.
I intend to inspect "87 944s (16 valve) with some "minor" front-end collision, which was repaired and the car what repainted. The car drives straight (per owner).
What should I inspect and pay close attention to?

Look for:

-engine oil leaks
-power steering leaks
-check clutch life/wear through inspection port
-working gauges
-body panels not lining up/frame damage/pinch welds
-exhaust
-suspension - bushings/ball joints/shocks
-transmission shifts smoothly/clutch engagement smooth
-belts (balance/timing) - last time changed?
-water pump - last time changed?

Thanks, walfreyydo.
I checked most of the things you mentioned. Others were assumed old and in need of replacement.
