look for remnents of steel amongst the rust and most engine problems are confined under the bonnet..........but oddly not all

Just make sure the bulkhead and chassis is sound, outriggers can be replaced easily so they're not too big a deal

Engine just make sure its not smoking blue or white (tiny bit on startups alright)

Just do a search on here, its all on the forum
