Title basically. Found an '85 RX7 on Facebook for $950. Owner says it cranks but doesn't start, but then sent me a video of it running(presumably from the past). Says it has never been flooded or crashed, but when I looked up the title there was a crash in 2001. According to him he used it for his daily driver until it broke down on him. First thing we're checking for is rust, since the car is in a major hurricane spot. I currently own an RX8, but what other major things should I be looking for? Here's a link of some of the pictures and videos:

I'm going to go ahead and assume that the videos are old, and that the car does not start. I'm not expecting to drive in anytime soon, and it's definitely going to be a project. What other important things do I need to be looking for when I go to look at it? Thanks!
