Alright guys. Thanks once again for all the responses and advice.
Keep in mind, that I will drive from Munich to the UK to collect parts with a van. So although containers are massive things, the amount of parts I can ship back will be limited to a gutted van.
Now that I've seen enough interest in the forum (and got the green light from my lady), I'm going to work out shipping costs to Perth and then I'll start to scout for parts in the UK.
This will happen slowly over the next few months. So please have patience.
Cos I don't have endless pockets, and I want to protect myself from being stuck with parts, I will be asking for payment (part or full) shortly before I head to the UK.
Just to remind you all of the likely timeline - Parts pickup in UK - SEPT, transport to Perth - SEPT. Likely arrival DEC 2010/JAN 2011 (???)
A few questions to those interested...
* A couple of people have been asking for 205/60/R13s . Are they that hard to find in AUS these days?? If so, looks like I'll be upgrading to 14s when I get back!!
* Someone mentioned 205 blocks to me. Would bringing back the piston conrods from the 205 be sufficient? Or are there other goodies that make a 205 so special?
* Zetec conversion parts are definitely on the list... that's something that you wouldn't see in AUS (i think...)
* Would Kent and Pinto cam kits from the UK (Piper, Burton, Kent etc) be of interest to anyone?
* I will definitely bring a few Type 9's back. But is there still interest in Pinto EFI setups?
* I remember reading that Volvo 4 pot calipers are a common brake upgrade for scorts. Is it worth bringing back those calipers from the UK, or can they still be found in AUS?
Cheers!
Nick
