Hi all, going to look at an 80 series over the next couple of days. Some initial, poor quality, photos show plenty of rust on the chassis so that will be my focus to determine the extent. I’m not overly concerned about surface rust as will wire wheel/grind, treat and paint/coat as needed but not looking to take on anything needing welding on the chassis (body panel repair/welding I am not fussed about). I need some guidance on where are the key go to areas to look at and poke on the chassis that I should be concerned with. I believe more towards the rear near spare wheel but looking for advice on specific known areas to really inspect closely. I come from an RR classic and had to weld up a new rear cross member and body mounts.
Any advice greatly appreciated and I’ll report back what I find (with probably more questions!)
