Hi Arctic, a fellow country man
and welcome aboard.
I take you live closer to arctic circle due that name... I'm living down south in Espoo
Hey, where the hell did ya get those splash shields?!?!?!?!?!? :dontknow:
Well..hmm, a short story of "how to get parts to Finland". I used to travel past 6 years or so a lot in US for work. A total a have been there about 50+ times. EVERY, I mean EVERY single trip i had parts for my Chally in a suitcase, in boxes, in my friends suitcases etc.
Every songle moving part in the car has been carried in suitcases back to Finland
... AND most of the "static" parts... oh well, basically everything is carried from US in suitcases except those that didn't fit in
What did I "win" was ~5% of customs + 22% VAT and dealer profits. And in some cases I could buy parts tax free in US because I took them abroad
.. sooo think of it a huge saving while ya buy 85% of your car parts and "hand-carry" them back home
Well, at least many of my colleaques and friends have had great time laughing my "business trips" with carrying rear ends, locker units, cranks, cams etc etc etc thru customs w/o getting ever caught!!! And our customs limitation is ONLY 200$!!
But hey, I'm verbally talented, not shy at all... and of cource "second" bills always with me.
Today I bought Wilwood Disc brakes for the Chally, it was 980$ deal with current Euro to Dollar conversion so not bad at all... buying parts from US now is really worthy thing while the Euro was 1,34 Dollars today :guitar: :beer:
