slap a magnet on each quarter and take the spare out of the boot to check for stretch marks. Also look for spanner marks on the front end panel bolting, also sus if rusty resadue around this area if all is well don't think go for it not many around.

Yeah, definately do the magnet check (checks for bog in the panel) - look for rusty residue (means it's been kept near the coast and will succumb to rust faster).
Also, check all the gaps in the panels so you won't have a headache with bad repair work. Other than that, if it's all good mechanically - go for it!

Wow a $50+ vehicle to less than $10g in 8yr's, it's all good for the used car buyer, I'd buy one in good nick for that price, I still think the EL F/ghia's are the nicest looking Ford out there.
