And the wb wheels. If we can't buy the wb here, we could always build it. :naughty

Seriously, if the container was packed well & with the rear quarters being the biggest/most awkward, how many 'cars' could we build from one container load?

And what would the costs be for that container with all charges & duties, etc?

Curious to find out if it is a worthwhile exercise...
Reduce fuel costs by 15-20% & cut emissions by 1/3rd...
Increase engine performance & prolong engine life...
How?

I wish we could reverse the sickening feel of losing a good condition widey by letting those guys know they've thrown thousands of $$$$ away...if not $10K in Oz

Oh yes, and of course some wheels!

I'm going to speak to some people about getting a container.

Any US guys (preferrable on the West Coast) want to help source some widey stuff?

You can fit 3 cars in a container, also you can put parts inside the car itself to fit more parts.
Starions are a disease, the only cure is poverty.

Haha, what kind of parts do you want?? LSD's and wheels??

I don't like to part Starions, but for some reason others do.

I have a pair of rear quarters I've been thinking about making a mold of, but then wondered who wants fiberglass fenders...

Please rob, go ahead.

You make glass w/b front and rear fenders and i'll put em on the drag car. Saves me getting glass ones made.
