What should i check for when buying a 20V ADub? and What should i ask when im there and ask the mechanic when i take it for a check. What should i know before i go to look at it. Should i look for spersifc things when taking it for a test drive.

that actually sounds quite good. i have an 85, cost 4g, engine (black top) cost 1.5g and fitting another 1g. thats just the basics, exhaust about 1.5g plus it has more mods. get the RWC though as it has the 20v in it that would be a good idea. your big problem will be in parts im from adelaide and parts are hard to come by. call around and find one that has parts as finding them new is hard.
