My two cents....

I have the exact color combo on my '85 Carrera, love it, congrats if you decide to go ahead. Remove the carpets in the trunk, and if possible the shield panel that covers the heat/AC ducts and shine a light around the gauge areas to see what is back there corrosion-wise. Check the smuggler's box interior. Inside the interior, under the carpets, follow that path down to the pedal box. Lay on your back to see up under the dash - which is really crammed full of wires, etc, but you might as well while you are in there. The wheels can be painted, lots of threads on this. The bumpers can be done pretty easily, but check underneath where the horns, oil cooler and windshield washer reservoirs are to see what it looks like underneath. Also check the fender-to-body brackets that are shaped like a horseshoe. If they are bent it can be a telltale sign of an impact. Good luck!!!
