In terms of performance, a euro 635 is good for 218hp (36 more than the us), 200lbs less weight and about a 7 second 0-60 time (w/ the 5sp of course). That is pretty good for a 1980 road car. If equipped w/ original rims and tires, dont expect much in terms of handling (especially in wet conditions where the TRX tires are really bad). Rust on the trunk lock area is very common. Rust under the wheel wells and front strut towers is very common and can be troublesome. Talk to an expert for more advice. In my opinion, when a car has a lot of rust, there's no stopping it and it will eventually destroy the car.
