things to look for when checking over a griff/chim

[minimax]

so when I haul my ass down to agger autosport to find a nice tivver (in the next week or two) what kind of things am I looking for? chassis outriggers in good condition, gathered that but what else? anyone got a list of what they looked over when they bought theirs?

any help appreciated...

Do what shpub says.
Other than that I have written up a what I did in a thread in the Griff forum. It was quite a long post in a thread titled something like "buying info".

Also if you are going to James Agger the main thing to look out for is dodgy sales man techniques.

(Not really! Thought I had better say that just in case you dont know him!)

Excellent buyers Griff buyers guide here in the pdf section (its a big file but very exhaustive with loads of info): www.sleepy-fish.com/moretvr.htm

BB's buying guide:
www.ballisticbanana.co.uk/Buyers%20Guide.htm

Just search the Griff Forum for 'advice' or 'purchase' and it'll chuck out loads of good threads with information for potential buyers.

Trying a searching on "buying" too.

Or just read my last 3000 threads!
(Or 6000 if you might want an S too!)

You really should start with Steve Heaths buying guide though. Its a good place to start.
