Got a friend who's looking at one of these on the weekend. What are common faults/problems on these cars, and what should we be looking out for ?? Cheers

Engine/box bomb proof
front tca bushes, rear subframe bushes
Electrics sipmple but the SI board can play up
Rust every where espicaially in the places you can't see, any thing on the surface will be 10x below
front wings, sills, scuttle, boot floor/cabin floor corners etc

Fair few bits then! Cheers for that. I remember looking at Jims and the footwells were shagged

Footwells were actually not that bad. It was the rust between floorpan and sill that was the real problem.

Guess there wont be much we can do really cuz i guess to look for that it'd be a carpet up job. If the cars as good as it looks though its going to be awesome!

Don't build your hopes up!I had a "good one" in 1990 and it was a bit of a rotter,that was twenty years ago.They tend to rust from the inside out.Top car if half decent though.Good luck......

Went to see it today. Absolute gorgeous car. Hardly a spot of rust on it. We looked it over with a fine tooth comb and other than the back box blowing its mint. Tempted myself but i guess its not right cheating on your mates
