Replaced the front struts.
Replaced the exhaust system.
Had to fix an electrical problem before it would run.
A few minor wiring problems throughout the car, don't know how to fix (trunk light, glove box light, front passenger window control light, etc.).
I love this car. My dad got it for me because he owns a wrecking yard and bought it for $400. It's not the best car ever, but you can't go wrong for such a low cost. He had to get it running and replace a few things, but it runs fine now. Still won't pass DEQ, but oh well.
It has power everything, which is really nice compared to my old Volvo which had power steering, brakes, and locks, which wasn't much help. I'm a little too used to rear-wheel drive though, so every once in a while I oversteer.
Lastly, the performance is so so. With just me in the car driving around, I feel like I'm in a sports car. But get a friend or two in there and the weight really bogs down the performance. I wasn't expecting incredible speed from this car, but I also didn't think the drop-off would be so severe.
Since you've got the 3-speed automatic, make sure you get the tranny and the diff properly serviced, there's an inherent fault where the seals between them perish and the diff fluid goes to the tranny and runs the diff dry. Very expensive to fix. Later 4-speed autos are immune from this, but it didn't kick in unti '92.
