65 the good bad and ugly

Since the car is at an importers, I doubt they will want to spend a lot of Euros to make it really road ready AND safe to drive. Chances are it will need a complete front end rebuild - upper and lower ball joints, tie rods and most likely Pitman and Idler arms. Then an alignment for those Irish roads. Chances are it needs a replacement heater core - more parts that need to be imported from the US. Is the importer willing to do all this? There looks like a lot of work to bring it up to snuff. If you go back to manifolds, then those fenderwell cutouts need to be repaired and the list goes on and on!

Personally, I would have done all the necessary work and imported a car myself and bought a done and correct car. I think you would be dollars and Euros ahead doing it that way! There are a lots of nice cars being sold here on FABO that could fit that bill. Just my 2 cents
