What to check when buying a 2nd hand rib?
Hi,
I have been offered a rib at a steel but i'm worried it may be too good to be true. What should i be checking? It's a long way to visit. I have checked stolenboats.org and can't see it. I have requested HIN engine serial number and trailer plates also a copy of original dealer invoice etc and awaiting response. Is there anything else to look out for?
Thanks in advance
