looking for an mz20 soarer as my next car

G'day everyone,
just after some opinions on this car, also have some specific q's I’d like answered.
Are there any particular rust prone areas that i should look out for?
I want a manual one, is the R154 gearbox the beefy one? if so what’s the W58 like? Is that what they came with standard?
I hear that the 7m has head gasket troubles, Is this only in some cases or is it an unavoidable problem throughout all 7m motors that requires a metal gasket installed to remedy?
How do the older soarers go around corners? The newer one looks more like a barge but the older one looks as if it could be made to handle pretty nicely.
And finally, I saw at Import Bitz http://www.importbitz.com/turbo.htmthey sell turbo upgrade kits for about $3000 is this a worth while mod? any ideas on what sort of power I’d be likely to milk? I've seen BLKJET pull over 550kw @ 10,800 with a 7mgte but I can imagine that thing had a shit load of engine work.
Thanks for your time all,
Fingers crossed I can find a nice example in my price range
