Hey all. i recently found a used Land Rover Series III 88 from 1979. it's got a 2.3l diesel. the car looks really nice, i only looked at the exterior and under it. i noticed that there aren't any oil leaks and i couldn't see any dents on the frame or the diffs. the bodywork looks very nice i doesn't show the age at all tomorrow i'll "visit" it again to see how the engine is running. the car is priced at 9900 euro and in that price i get an identical car but i can't drive the bonus one on public roads.
what are the main bad things i should look for ? i heard it's a strong car, but there could be weak spots. beeing my first LR experience i don't know what things i should keep in mind, so please help.
i should mention that i live in romania and this is the oldest lr i've ever seen ( i think it's the only one in my city)
