stressd Posted January 27, 2024 Share Posted January 27, 2024 Look for rust! Wheel arches and sills. If it’s rust free then it looks a nice buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScooby Posted January 28, 2024 Share Posted January 28, 2024 The area in the rear wheel arch near the bottom at the front where the sills end is where I have seen a lot including my own be rotton and the frame rails underneath. Other then that if it modified be carefull and if the pcv system is still intact is what to look out for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Darley Posted February 5, 2024 Author Share Posted February 5, 2024 Thank you both for these handy tips, I thought rust might be an biggy, but on the PCV system, how do you know if it's intact? (sorry if sounding a bit slow!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScooby Posted February 6, 2024 Share Posted February 6, 2024 The pcv system is all the random pipework running across the engine so look for pipes that are just open or blocked off with bolts and the major give away is if the metal pipe that runs across the intercooler is still there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
