OK, this isn't the normal GRM inspection or PPI for a personal vehicle.  This is for work.  There's an old car for sale that work is interested in for a potential IP invalidity claim.  This isn't a normal 'check everything', as long as the car is basically in good/very good physical condition for the body/chassis, within reason we don't care too much about mileage, engine, trans etc.  We need the vehicle to not have been (badly) wrecked at any time, be a good basic specimen, with a certain component that we want to be as sure as we reasonably can be, is original as fitted.  We can provide images or genuine parts vs aftermarket.  Anyone know a place that can help that's reputable?  The car is at a dealer BTW, we need an independent inspection.

thx.

Sorry, this may not be of much help but when I went to college in Blacksburg (*cough, 20 years ago), 'The Bug Shop' was a plethora of help on my aging Audi. A quick Google search makes it seem like they are still around? - 540-552-8800.

Not sure what nationality or vintage you are looking at but maybe they could point you in the right direction if they can't help. (I think the Duncan network in neighboring Christiansburg went big-time into the JDM import business as well.)
