Myself and the Dodge collection are based in Falkirk, though I work in Aberdeen most of the time.

Good luck with the shipping.

Default shipping

Hi Richard
I meant to drop you the contact of the shipping company I used, but it seems you already have it from Gordon. I also used Kingstown shipping, just down the road in Hull. Exceptional service, the final bill including onward shipping from southampton was around £2k from Toronto.

Kind regards

Default snails pace restoration

To be honest we are not really making much progress, I seem to be working all the time! Any time we do manage to put in is spent keeping the C8As serviced and running, We ahd a few calamaties last year and that slowed us down a bit, my latest problem is that our youngest has descovered the Jeep in the shed,so theres another problem to resolve!, but we'll get around to it in time. I am currently working in getting it mechanically complete the engine and transmission arrived as a bunch of gravel dropped in the back of the carrier, following that the biggest headache is the stering selector which is very badly corroded, possibly because it sits below the battery tray, otherwise it seems quite sound.
regards
nick
