I can add a little to this. I have a '78 99 3 door turbo, that has rusted in some strange places. Reading some of the service updates I have, there were a couple of problems found around about 78-79MY:
The factory changed the lubricant used to install the front and read glass. The lubricant was later found to be corrosive! Affected cars were repaired free.
Where the weather strips were clipped to the door frames, the clips scratched the paint causing rust to teh top areas of the skins. Affected cars were repaired free (mine was very affected, but appears to have missed the repair).
'78 and '79 turbos (i.e. the 3 and 5 door cars) did not survive very well at all in the UK. Almost all that have gone were killed by terminal rust. Almost all were built at Trollhattan, mine was.
My Finnish built '3 99 GL on the otherhand is pretty solid.
