Might be best to speak to an exporter or freight forwarder to try and buy some container space. Otherwise it's gonna cost a fortune.

Norway is special, since we're not in EU we seem to get raped when it comes to postage/shipping costs

We're still coming to a final figure but it all depends on the shipping charges etc. I 've someone coming around tomorrow morning all being well to by the car as a whole so will take it from there. Then I can kick your ass in my highly tuned escort. lol.

Ask Jeff Chalker he brings stuff in.

Although, last stuff I got sent via a company King and Wilson (Mike Rainbird organised it) they normally only do relocations so it slipped under the customs radar.

Vic,

What you thinking? - I need a load of stuff as well.

Perspex, oil pump, more carbon, radiator (maybe), (do we need door handles for the door cards), breather, gaskets, hoses etc........

POPEYE No sorry you must have me mistaken with someone else (in which I apparently have a tend to do)

LINCOLN I was thinking of getting a set of comps that we were talking about the other day. The cards we have utilise the factory door handles (in which I may flock mine).

Pleasure!

Glad to hear that you got away without having to cough up duty, that would have been a 'one off' by the way............So you did well!

Linclon - did you ask Compomotive or Martin Reyland? Perhaps Martin could do us a little better deal for two sets (or more or possibly more)

Asked Rainbird and Martin - no response.

Is OK though as I am currently building a list of stuff I need - will not be ready for a few weeks (as it depends on a few things).

If your asking for you ask for me again.
