Hello everyone. I'm new here and in the market for an 80. I've had a 3rd Gen 4Runner and a Jeep YJ in the past and this seems like a big step up.
Does anyone know of any reliable shops or local pros in the general Bakersfield CA area that could help out with a pre-purchase inspection? I've been diligent about reading the FAQ on here and at Slee etc. but I don't really feel I can check all the problem areas thoroughly enough myself. I don't have a garage right now and I'm fairly limited on my tools so doing things like a knuckle rebuild or even the PHH would have to be done at a shop and end up being really costly. I'm fairly close to LA and several 80s that I'm looking are there anyway so I could always go there instead.
