alternator, master cylinder, clutch master cylinder, and thats about it. at 80k most things should be fine assuming the car was taken decent care of. but the clutch and brake cylinders are usually worn pretty well by that milage.

80K? Are you kidding? Original? Man, unless you abuse her, you've still got another 100,000 miles in her. I rebuilt at 186,000, even though I didn't HAVE to (still had 88-90 psi compression everywhere)

Keep an eye on- oil cooler hoses, fuel pump inlet filter, pre-cat clogs, and injectors, since she's obviously sat for long periods at some point in her life, along with the items noted above...

How does that change if your injectors need to be cleaned?
