[PANAVIA]

Just like any car, the Butler should be gone through on a lift with someone you can trust. - it probably has some age and lack of use issues. -

you want to make sure you can check everything out , even the simple stuff.

Fuel tank , mounts , brake lines , cooling, -etc -

as for heat in the footwells you can insulate with a wide variety of materiel. Dynamat, firemat, etc. -

get yourself one of those IR heat gun sensors ( 30-100$ depending on brand ) and you can see how hot things are in certain places.

best of luck on your new toy, - Steve
