What to look for on a used 1st Gen

[Kretz]

I'm considering a good 1st Gen. I'm thinking around '86-'89. I've seen a few advertised locally but not actually been to view any as yet.

Apart from checking for leaks, lights, brakes, tires, weird noises etc What things should I be looking at or checking for? Simple checks that can be done without a garage or workshop.

Are there any specific failings that can cost lots down the road? I am reasonably mechanically minded but wouldn't want to start doing rebuilds etc.

Thank You.
