mybox is std

But second hand quaife items do come up from time to time, expect to pay 1500-2k for those then a shot peen and polish/rebuild etc, another 700 ish, though that still wont be bullet proof for 400 plus

Get a skyline conversion from reyland, that should be bullet proof, but circa 8-10k IIRC, though I'm not sure if available on the common market yet??

sweedish FIX-IT gearkits have a very good reputation here in norway. Think Rainbird have them in stock.
