Land Rover Defender 1jz?

[Bavarian]

I'm planning on buying a Land rover Defender 110 pick up with a 1jz soon but i'm a little worried about potential problems.


I understand old landy's suffer rust issues? But what other things should i look out for?

And about the 1jz engine what normally should one check?


The car is a 1990 model, its a defender 110 pickup,auto gearbox,functional 4wd,standard engine with hks air filter and that pretty much sums it up.


Any help would be greatly appreciated guys

well i'm not too sure myself but i read some forums and watched a couple of videos on it. Apparently the chassis and bulkhead tend to rust from what i read.
