200sx advice for buying ?

[datsun-11]

Hows it going lads, heading out there later on to have a look and hopfully buy a 95 Nissan 200sx 2ltr turbo. for my first proper drift car, It seems to be standard enough and never on the track and only got NCT last week so cant to too bad.. but I was wondering if there was anything i should be looking out for before I can buy the car ?? Any information or advice would be a great help!

have a good look around the sills and rear diff mountings for rust, wouldnt do to buy it and leave the subframe out behind ya,

check the already said rust and just general slop in suspenion. the mounting points on the rear subframe can be a problem and gasket meeting the manifold to the turbo are prone to blowing
