check to make sure the APC system is working - you should feel slight cut-outs when at high boost.
Does the turbo whistle high pitched when spooling up, or low pitch? if low, it's days are numbered. Open the pass. window and drive next to a wall so you can hear it better.
one good thing is that the weaker 8v engine is easier on the trannies.
did you get an estimate on fixing the body up?
what sort of mags are on the car - anything special or manhole covers?
how is the suspension - by now the bushings are rockhard and the ride will be harsh unless you invest in really good shocks.
the window switches (if power windows ) on the dash are nicer than having them on the console. Speaking of which, does it have lots of power accessories? if so, that's better in my opinion.
