Go to this link:

Click on "What to look for when buying". It covers all the main points.
Is this going to be your daily driver or a project to work on/restore? That makes a big difference in what to look for. |

| check the floor panels and the heater channels. rot in the floor panels can be easy to overcome but it is still a pain. but if there are visible rust or rot in the heater channels then i would say that you are in for a ride. it is not easy to relieve this problem but it can be rectified if you take time. regards, dev |
