Corrosion holes in the body... only easy way to fix that is to replace the tub with a good used one. You can replace just the side panels, but that is a big PITA.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to check the firewall and the frame for rust. Each of these is a fairly major undertaking to remedy, and the frame can be quite costly.
Mechanical work is easy to fix on a Series, rust issues are not. IMO I would find one in the same price bracket that had a mint body and frame, but a blown transmission or motor.
Nuts and bolts is easier than welding and grinding.
