Looks like a very clean import! Smile
I can't say for sure if it is rust free from pictures, but looking at the floorpan it does look clean. Check the fenders and the insides for rust to be sure. Also check on the right side under the door for rust because the sideskirt is missing... If there is rust near the holes which held the sideskirt it will most probably be the same at the other side.

Seriously, if I were you.
I will worry about the chasis more than anything else.
Worry about the motor last.
try and get the car up on a hoyst.
And see if there are anything bent or any bad rust spots.

I would check the rear arches pretty well, the car has had the bottom half re-sprayed, might have had a bit of work done recently.

An 86 is for Life, not just for Christmas
