I spose the sea air in Achill maybe accelerated it's rust blebs n flattened the paint... Looks like the owner is trying to do right by the car n shift it on to someone who will tackle the body work etc. I couldn't resist the joke given the sellers name, but I do use an old hospital trolly to...

Hi. I sent you a PM there just now... 👍

Cool I'll have the pair for €30. I could meet you somewhere depending on your route from Wexford to Portloaise. (I'm in south Tipp) Thanks
