Oldie Needs Help Urgently

Post by OLD FART »

Is There anyone in Sydney that can help get a Coltspeed spoiler that Shannon has kindly offered to me to help getting my JB back on the road again??
I am in Brisbane but happy to drive part of the way if someone can get it to say Lismore or a similar distance.
I am undergoing a prostate operation next Wednesday the 9th and unable to drive till the end of the month .
Any help to make this happen greatly appreciated














help repairs to my JB :( :( :( :(

Get a quote on shipping it. I reckon it will be less than the petrol.
i've used TransDirect.com.au and eGo.com.au in the past...

All the best with the Op.

I shipped my colt speed one years ago for my first JA through SubZero couriers. It was delivered in great condition.

I had a (100kg) bottom end sent on a crate via e-go.com.au for $55 door to door (Brisbane to Sydney).


Have Shannon box it and protect it well and it shouldn't be a problem.

redzone sent me one of his fibreglass front bumpers and it was 40 bucks delivered to my door

I've been itching for a trip and would have happily taken it up to brisbane for you oldie, but none of the cars I can borrow are working at the moment, and mine is in pieces :x

Thanks for all the suggestions But have been waiting on you know who to make it happen .I understand that he is working 2 jobs and was wondering if someone down there would be willing to take over from Shannon & organise this and advise me of the cost to courier it to me + add the cost of a carton of your favourite amber medicine to the bill for their trouble can do this for me as my enquiries at this end ask for sizes ,weight etc before they will give a price :(

I can do it as I will be in the Campbelltown area tomorrow and Sunday picking up some stuff with my trailer. The e-go.com.au depot is 3 mins from my place, too.

Shannon never answers his phone...
