1990 fuso fg should I buy?

Hey guys a few questions for ya. I have a chance to buy a pretty clean looking 90 fuso fg with 45k miles on it for 18k. 1 owner. It’s a left hand drive and has no rust and already has a box set up for a camper build. It has a 3.5 4 cylinder with the inter cooler. Anything I should watch out for? Is the price bad?
 
Any thoughts on this? Went to look at it runs like new. No leaks besides a few weeping seals here and there. Perfectly maintained but it is 32 years old. Glow plug light took forever to turn off?
needs new tires up front. No AC :(.
4x4 was flawless, first gear a little touchy when moving. Breaks were better than my01 truck. Held a steady 60mph at 2700 rpm.
 
Theres a separate sub-forum for these trucks on here, the japanese heavy truck one. Did you check the engine for any excessive blowby? Did you check for turbo wear like excessive shaft play? Did you check the Frame rails for rust or patch panels?

There is some surface rust but not much it’s very dry out here. I didn’t check the blow by but I will it’s going to my diesel mech before I purchase it.
How would I check the turbo just? 80966FB4-FA0F-4C31-86E0-C406499C16FF.jpeg
I guess I am more concerned if something like the injector pump fails where do I get a new one or rebuilt?
