There are a number of problem areas in older Gs, but fortunately they are all well documented. Have a read of Buying Advice Part 1 and 2 in this section.
Started and ran well. Bottom of back door rusty as were both rear panel. Rear door hanging on by only top hinge looked a big job to repair/replace panel where bottom hinge attached to the body.
Little worried that the owner never engaged 4wd or the diff locks either.
