This is what got delivered today:
Have several things to fix: driver's side mirror does not move, driver's seat air pump is loose, antenna does not go down all the way and HUD positioning is broken.

Thanks for the comments and link to the antenna fix. Had to do this on my '96, but with it the ribbon had broken in the reel and I had to replace the entire assembly. Went ahead and took the reel cover off and removed the ribbon pieces and installed the new mast/ribbon...so now I have a spare that goes with the '96 when I sell it.
And question for a new Vert owner; is the hatch supposed to stay up when folding the top down? This one requires holding it up. Is there something else I need to fix here?
Thanks again.

It is unmolested that is for sure; only non stock item that I have found are the tires. Even has a Delco battery in it...which can't be the original.
Clutch and brake fluid both need flushed as they are as dark as can be....uuugghhh!!
Have not check coolant yet.
Probably does not show in the pictures but the rotors are really rusty where the pads do not contact. Will be spending lots of quality time in the garage checking everything out the next couple of weeks along with fixing those items I have already found.
