What are the usual suspects with these cars??

I currently drive a 1990 100 non-quat...basic type 44 body, but across the spectrum from the 5000 to the V8 ALL type 44's have ac, tranny and electric problems.

I am thinking of getting an early 1990's model 80 or 90...what are the "usual suspects"..I really know very little about these models.

Fenster, Hockney, MacManus, Kint, and Keaton. :-)

No really, everyone here is right, strut mounts, AT's, and a headliner that likes to come apart and spew orange gooey foam everywhere. Get one still in one piece as it is not an easy headliner to change.
