Welcome & enjoy, just look out for rust i.e battery tray & the usual places like whell arches etc, check for any old sounds coming from the engine bay, smoke, try & get it up on a ramp if you can, hope this helps

Welcome Mate

as said check for rust on battery tray, fusebox, arches, sills, chassis rails. Also high pitched turbo or knocking in the engine walk away
