The Problems:
So far the only problem (besides rust) ive had with the car has been the started motor. Over a period of time it became less and less reliable, sometimes just making a 'click' noise and not turning the engine over at all. After advice from friends and the help of the mechanical manual, i took apart the starter motor and gave it a good 'ol clean. Ever since its been trouble free :-) (pics of the starter motor).
