Wow. Time flies. Car still looks amazing, Chris.
Thanks for reminding me of that pallet lol. Jesus FC, that was such a pain in the ass and not worth it. I think James was the only one that really came out well on that deal. He probably overpaid, but at least his parts were OK. We were all a bunch of 20-22yo kids giddy at the prospect of getting some real euro parts. I now know, as you pointed out and the European members can affirm, that it just means old rusty junk. We thought we were saving money by shipping it bulk on pallets on a ship. It took like two months, and we got screwed by having to pay a customs broker to process the paperwork on our $150 pallet of parts (the "invoice" was laughable at best. I had all of the wheels listed at like $5/ea). Then there was some other storage/processing fee in some seaport in LA. I was a college junior having to google what the hell a "bill of lading" was. Ugh, what a fucking nightmare. I drove all the way up from Eugene and had to pick the pallet up in a shipyard. They couldn't forklift it into my truck, so my friend and I took the shrink wrap off in the parking lot, threw the parts in the bed, and left the pallets in their lot. I had no tie downs so we literally took duct tape and just taped the pile down across the bed.
NEVER. AGAIN.Leave a comment:
