Stick to the technical stuff son
What those Bananarama! do is play at "let's see what this one can do" or that's a nice sound system, or carburetter etc etc etc...... When I was loading up this time they where caining the jap imports up and down
Trouble was me battery was flat and she wouldn't fire up with the battery pack, so winched her on the trailer, therefore I didn't know about the box till I was back home
Actually I've heard the thieving takes place on board
insurance normally takes care of that problem though.
Thing is how do you prove which lot are reasonable, U.S. overland transport man, U.S. dock handlers, U.K. handlers
It just does your head in
think I'll go container from now on

Thanks Adrian but I'm not sure what kind to replace it with (apart form the big chrome job) at the moment
I'll have a look when I'm over there.

Thankyou gent's. The rear wheels are some that I already had = wrong off-set, so tried to cheat with norrower rubber, just don't look right, so going slightly narrower rim's with fat 275s. The fronts are just not tall enough, will av'e it sorted by weekend

Phew !! That didnt take long
6 months or so, wasnt it
Still, think of all that petrol you've saved not having to feed the hemi in that time
Paint & chrome looks pretty good from here
Bit stuck what to suggest about the air cleaner tho - most original-ish looking early hemi's are 2x4's and have the big chrome jobbie. Think I've seen similar on a 1x4 tho. Please dont go for anything too 'modern' tho
Are you changing the front tyres Mal? If you've got a pair of 215/60x15 BFG's laying around (new or nearly new), let us know
