my friend has one, I like them, consumption friendly for budget and not slow.. and the bits are general things for wear and tear .. not something unexpected ..

top two advises have been done with the wishbones,

anti roll links cheap enough £7

as said just general wear.

the rest is no big deal.

i would check for corrosion/previous weld repairs on the sills
thou.

Check the sills and floor pans VERY well, these things are often pretty rotten at that age.
