What to look for when buying a high milage FD
I've been looking at the car: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1993-...em310024614388
it has 200K+ miles on the chassis. I'm concerned about bearings seals, etc... Are there specific issues I should look for associated with FDs?
The more research I do the more the addiction grows...

More miles than mine!! Holy smokes 
FD bodies seem to hold up REALLY well to age (don't rust, people seem to take care of them etc). Except for the usual stuff (cracked dash vents, door handles etc)
You will have to change basically all suspension related stuff, diff bushings, motor mounts, PPF (they crack sometimes?). But it depends on condition.
There's no way that's an original motor with that turbo/intercooler setup.
