chassis rails - make sure they aint rusty
header tank - make sure it has no mayo
oil filler cap - make sure it has no mayo
check it dont smoke on start up - this may be valve stem seals... not a big deal really
check it dont smoke under load - walk away
check there are no knocks from the bottom end
check for b pillers for cracks
have a look and see how the exhaus has been mated, few bodges out there.
check condition of hoses, few bodges out there.
check wheel bearings as some machined hubs dont last.
