watch out for rust. Especially the spots where the driveshafts go into the body. A pain to fix.
For any '86 8v, and given the symptoms you describe, I'd say check your compression, you're probably in for a head gasket + surfacing. Then there's the eternal pre -88 brake (pad) problem, tie rod ends, ball joints, bearings and CV joints, not mentioning a-arm bushings. They have to be in shape, or your car 'll drive like cr@p.
Like some one said: great cars once you get them straight. It just takes a while to get there.
