Hi
yes you now get charged 5% import duty on the car...i would guess you get charged 20% vat on the shipping costs.
most cars the resin tub is ok, its the steel backbone chassis that can have problems and some cases need a frame off repair, or even a complete repair and galvanise.
interiors can clean up and repair ok, it depends what really, and remember parts can get expensive.
fuel system normally needs a complete overhaul, however i would not look for a engine rebuild unless it needed it..ie dont fix something that is not broken...yes change the water pump and the y pipe and refurb the valley of death, the pump if old is likely to leak sometime.
and wiring, no leave alone if ok...but examine carefully the fuse box as that is where problems can be
if you were to completely renew interior you would be spending a huge amount of money, and a restored one is just as good (if not better as it is original)

interior, I just ment carpets and seats, not dash. When you ment exspensive ~ did you mean including the dash? or is the carpets seat linings an expensive repair/ replace in themselves?

With the cars Stain has rescued now being in the EU, the import fees will have already been paid.
