Hi JC,
Conratulations on your new purchase,
You will not need an emissions test in Ontario, cars that are older than 19 years do not require the test.
As for a safety, mine was in good shape and needed rebound straps, new pads and that was it. I was told before I purchased mine to check the steering box and for rust of course. But I imagine coming from Florida the rust will be minimal.
Where are you located in Ontario, I may have a lead on afew places for mechanics, depending on where you live in the province.
Good luck with your car, you will love it, even more than you can imagine. These cars are real head turners and drive like a real car used to. Email if you have any other questions.
