Got my eyes on a removable steering wheel, change the roll bar, intercom, new tyres, gearshift knob and gaiter, handbrake gaiter. Oh, did I mention she who must be obeyed isnt talking to me...:smilielol5:
My car is on the ship, the ship is in the harbour, the weather here in Alberta is awesome, it will be another week before the customs let my baby loose. Damn I"m frustrated..
Hi Spaz, thats what I want to see outside my front door. My baby lands in Vancouver on the 11th and then shipped to Calgary, Prov inspection and then HOME...to me in Nanton. Let the fun begin..:drool:
Ok you lot, this is just not fair. Here I am sitting waiting for my toy to arrive from Japan and there you all are having just toooooo... much fun. March 11th ETA Vancouver. Fingers crossed.
Beauty job.... where did you get those side mirrors and the mounting brackets? I promised the love of my life I wouldnt start the upgrade thing, now see what you've done....:drool:
Dean G. Thanks, might have to pass on that one.
Scannon. Sounds great. We have to get our work schedule arranged for this coming year, will stay in touch, thanks for the offer to stay at your place, look foward to getting together with some like minded souls. Looking foward to getting the car onto Canadian Rockies roads and see how she feels. I have wanted this car for over 40 years cant quite believe I am actually going to have my own. This is a great forum, thanks for making me feel welcome. Steve
John Ch. Keep me informed please.
Hi Mike
I wish, have enough trouble speaking English some days. I checked out the Google and Yahoo sites in Japan then used a broker in Vancouver to do the wheeling and dealing for me. He made the whole process a breeze to do. He has a mechanic over there to do an inspection and drive, also to send, in my case over 300 pics of every part of the car. I am sure there will be something to fix or improve but such is the world of used vehicles. Steve
No, will have it trailered to Calgary and drive it home from there. The weather is not really 7 friendly coming over the Mountains from Vancouver in March. Wish it was later in the year, that would be a great drive..Will do thet same drive going the other way later in the year, Linda has family on Vancouver Island, now THATS a great set of roads for these cars...
