    should be in Sydney April, I'm been pressured to pull the shipping back as its feature will coincide with ultimate dubs in mid march, The car has taken a turn which I wish I'd done a year ago but one way or another it will be in sydney by end of april, I just need to be lucky with the tester now as it is heavily modified but in my opinion not dangerous, but then thats my opinion.

    As said above I want to use the car as a self promotional tool, I have loads of parts for modern cars, such as ABT pedals, windscreen wiper blanks etc and I'm trying to set up deals with suppliers in the uk so that I get as much discount as possible and the pass it on. Experiences with a mk3 I had out in sydney just demonstrated a- VW dealers are greedy little gits and b- if you need something that isnt a regular consumable they take the royal mickey.

    Although I wont carry most parts I have direct links with these companies so can work deals.

    Once I know exactly who is involved I'll post it up and advertise on various forums, its probably a lot more agro than its worth but hopefully I'll run itself once its running and I get regular enquiries.

    As a tester I am shipping some bits that have been asked for, some of which are special one offs.

    I'll let the new owners tell you about the parts when they are ready but I can guarantee that I've probably saved these buys a couple of hundred £'s by going through me and not trying to do it themselves on line.

    And as for the meetings, it's going to be my daily for the first couple of months and I intend to go to as many meetings as possible all over the place, I even want to try and put a couple of Japanese noses out of place by turning up, parking and just dumping it on the floor.

    Regardless of everything however I will try to brand the BLACK OPS idea as there seems to be a good engineering base in australia which to be honest is lacking in the uk so there could be 2 way traffic

        I'd love to but time has gone and shipping is imminent, I'll have a quick look for the rain gutters, 4 door front wings are the same, british ebay is your friend, you find it, let me know and I'm sure we work something out

                  I'll be staying in constitution hill, as for the daily, well its the golf until I work out what to do for work, then depends on what I'm doing. As said I have a few idea's, just trying to roll them out before I leave the uk

                  I've got loads of picks I'd love to post but it really would spoil the impact I'm hoping the car will have over here

                              They are from the same stable but not Tosh's old one no,

                              The votex and nothelles are the type of things I can get hold of and one of the things I'm going to try and import out there. I'm in the last stages of setting logistics out with people like TSR, Newtons commercial, vw Heritage, PVW, just matz etc to distribute for them,

                              Keep your eyes peeled

                                Sounds good. Are they new wheels or new old stock?
