Q's for a noob on KE55 'rollas with 4k-c

I'm looking at a KE55 '81 Corolla with a 4K-C. Anyway this car was owned by an elderly lady who rode the clutch and that's about the only thing i could feel wrong with it.
Started first time (better than my daily driver did), sounded fine as it has only done 104000k's.
The stick moved into gears superbly - no noises or crunches, and the motor never stumbled.
All the seals are fine, interior still fantastic.
There were no leaks from diff, gearboxe, or engine.
The only thing was the right hand sode passenger door and back guard panel had experienced a collision and was very poorly panelbeated.
These 'rollas have disk at front and drums at back don't they?
So it sounds pretty good, but i want to know what else i'd need to look at because there is no history about it.
Could anyone fill me in on the specs, opinions.
I really don't know much about old school rollas and want to know whether it is worth purchasing and for how much?

My friend bought an auto ke55 for $250. The guy who he bought it off was just going to dump it because he didn't want to pay for rego. And it had only done 85,000km's. Yeah it has drum at the back. and discs at the front. Look for rust around the boot and near the window seals. Hope this helps at all
