What are some specific issues to look for on a 1988 240DL Wagon? 200 1988

I just bought a 1988 240DL Wagon with Automatic tranny and in decent condition for $1500. It has 175,000+ miles on it (odometer is broken) and needs some TLC. I have already changed the gasket on the transmission pan, cleaned out the throttle body and replaced/repaired some vacuum hoses, but am wondering what some other issues with the 240 Wagon are to investigate. This is my first Volvo and I am a convert. It is definitely a brick, drives great and is easy to work on. I have already ordered some parts from IPD (great site!) for the air intake, but would like to know of other places to purchase parts. Thanks.
