Body, Engine, Interior, Suspension, Running gear.

Only (partially) joking.

My opinion on looking at old cars is make sure teh body is sound. Ie small mechanical things that seem like they are deal breakers (Wheel bearings, brakes, etc) can be sorted cheaply and very easily. Any body/Chassis damage/rust is a pig to sort out and will never be mint again.

How much is it?

its was on ebay for £1450 but i offerd him £1000 and he because hes after a quick sale so he will. But i think its just a time waster to be fair because i was texin him about the car then when i asked him if he had service history, logbook and if there was any problems he never text me back :? witch seems a bit odd.....
