just do the basic run down dude. check hoses, belts, check for wet spots around gaskets(valve cover, head, exhaust, tranny, differential, etc.), flame coming from engine bay, hehe j/k, check fluids, cv boots, since its a 93 ,unless it was well taken care of, check the tie rods , probably goin to have to replace/remove cat heat shield , makes a nasty rattle when it cracks. my 91 doesnt have any rust problems which is amazing considering im in fl and the air has alot of salt in it. if they dont have service records i bet most of the suspension is stock, and the bushings will be rotted. . . oh yeah most important. test drive it and go into a drift just for the fun of it!
