I feel this is going to be epic after reading everyone's comments through the forums!
Thanks in advance.

Welcome John
With a sensible head on and emotions put aside (as hard as that may be)
a) Rear chassis/boot floor cracks & 'B' post door catches rust under the black plastic cover, rust at the bottom of front & rear wings, rusty exhaust joints (mainly middle rear pipe to back box)
b) Rattling on start up & at idle (poss. VANOS issues), Clutch slur while changing up the gears under load, check the "SPORT" button works and the flap opens, diff clanking at slow/City traffic speeds.
... unless you consider these in the "usual stuff" category
Exciting day ahead
