What to look for on a 1972 BGT - Help required please

Hi All

I am thinking of buying a 1972 MGB GT. Apparently it has had a lot of welding done and a respray but I was wondering what are the areas I need to be looking at in terms of potential issues. I understand the inner sills can be an issue but not heard of any other gotchas.

Many thanks.

Excellent information guys, many thanks for the knowledgeable feedback. I will look at a few and try to get one close by to me in Kent. I know a guy that has an immaculate Roadster and to top it off is an ex-AA man, I'm sure he wouldn't mind assisting for a pint and a meal . Just need to fine one close by now.
