I was thinking exactly the same to the letter and then read your reply!
You can keep your fuel consumption as it is despite modifying it with a suspension lift and bigger mud terrain tyres - just get a second set of wheels, such as modulars, in a wheel and tyre package from one of the number of online sites that sel them - Bigaz on here and others have them. You can then use those alloys and road tyres for every day use and thus not effect your fuel consumption.
You just need somewhere to store a second set of tyres.

just give the underneath a wire brush off and a coat of hammerite to smarten it up.
are you going to modify it and go offroad?

Cheers all. Is there anything i should check for? so i can see if i have a lemon? Other than the usual rust patches and that. The engine sounds and drives great but are there any common faults i can check for?

Rust anywhere underneath, worn radius arm bushes and if you have no death wobble leave the front axle alone! - other than to wire brush it and paint it before that diff pan rusts through!

"boot" floor for rust too? Another trap i've found to be a bit scabby is behind the headlamps.
