Default Buying a MK1 XR2 - Advice needed

Going to have alook at MK1 tonight and wondered what are the things to look for ??
Car has been fully restored a couple fo years ago.

Ford's are not my specialty, so any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Look for rust around the rear arches,boot floor and battery tray.There was a mk1 buyers guide in fast ford a few months back.
