l666ynx:
its in sutton from a mate of mine that i get most of my bits from and from what ive seen of it the engine bin fitted by a gfarage as it looks spot on there is a bi tof rust but not to bothered as pretty handy with welder and it on a auto box and dont think the head linin sagging either and it still moted which is a bonus

Range Rover Blues:
The rust tends to be worst in the bit between the bumpers.  Also look for worn bushes in the suspension, inapropriate spring ratios and inadequate or over-cooling with it being a conversion.
