Hi all, hopefully this is the right section- I'm interested in the car linked below and wanted some opinions/check I'm not missing anything too obvious.

Initial conversions the seller made clear the condensers need replacing and that its "had some paintwork" (no accident damage) which I'll investigate further on inspection. The gearbox was replaced due to whine, not sure if this is common? Should I be checking the engine- boroscope or rev range check? It's a good 3+ hrs from me so trying to get as much of an idea as possible before viewing.

Cheers
