I don't see the point in the 2.0 conversion. All you've gained is 11bhp.

It depends on the extent of the rust, as has been seen time and time again it can be much more terminal than it appears initially. Regardless of whether or not you can repair it i'd hold out for one with as little rust as possible :wink:

A common problem is girls will break your heart.

Other than that, look for bubbling flaking paint which may be hiding rust, or any dull looking paintwork, as that could be a dodgy paintjob after a dodgy repair.

If you must, check history, they'll eventually need a gearbox rebuild, headgasket, common on an old car. The diff bearings tend to go too. The rest is a few quid here and there really.
