Hi all,
I've been reading through a tonne of posts on here the last few days to learn more about the 70 series as I'm looking to buy one shortly and want to see if I'm cut out for the work!
I'm talking to a bloke at the moment who has a 1990 LX70 in Queensland. As I understand it, the shape is quite rare in Australia - it has the square headlights (the same as Ben's) and was imported.
What I'm keen to know is what should I be looking out for? I haven't heard of the LX series before so if anyone can fill me in that would be great. It's got a 22R engine that's done 375,000km that seemed to run well when I took it for a spin.
It had a bit of rust under the rear window and along the roof line which I'm not too concerned about. However, I am worried that means there's lots under the paint.
Could someone give me a list of things I should check out before handing over the cash?
Thanks!
Jake
