There is a car I'd like to view in Dublin - problem is it's a long and expensive way to go if the project turns out to be no good. Does anyone have any friends able to give a reliable report on a vehicles condition. Car is in Dublin.

Or .. does anyone know of a Dublin area based vehicle inspection company that they could recommend that I use. Please pm me. Thanks

Yep - it's sure dodgy - Registered as Spitfire MKIII 1969 - with bodywork ( Bonnet, Bumper, Chassis # ) of a MKII & a Dolomite engine - that much dodgyness I already know - what I really need to establish is - underneath the respray that's just 1 year old is there a solid car? I'm told the sills have been done - but is that smooth exterior just all filler or good metal, are the panel gaps good, chassis solid - is the interior trim trash or presentable etc - does the car have the makings of a sound project or not?

Is it worth me having a look or should I run a mile? Really could do with someone that side of the Irish Sea being able to have a prelim look see. Please if anyone one over there knows of anyone that may be able to help - pm me.
