Finally unloaded the wreck...

Excellent news! Awesome in fact...

I'll email you my address again... PO box or street address depending how they ship USPS is preffered as they don't rape me for brokerage fees like UPS does...

I'm happy to spend an extra $35 to be running on real suspension!
Have you been able to clean up the strut tube? If they drop ship the inserts then you'll need to send me the tube too.

T minus 8 days and counting!


Car is coming along well. New windshield was installed this morning, and used rear 1/4 windows too. Seats and belts will go back in tonight. Bodywork is mostly done, just needs a little more bondo, sanding and paint.

Hood pins, skid plate, front suspension and softer springs (and about a hundred little thinsg that I can't remember) is all that's left...

Just emailed you my address.

Good, I mailed Bilstein a preaddressed, pre customs form all filled out and postage paid mailing tube so they could send the insert directly back.
I think I talked them into selling 1 more as "spare parts".
I'll get the actual tube packaged up and send that.
And the extra as soon as they're back from plating, and bushing sizing.

Excellent! I love it when a plan finally comes together.

Springs arrive at Bicknell tomorrow then get sent to me.

Hopefully all this shipping happens in time! We leave for PN next Thursday evening (1st Feb).

When the dust settles on this rush stuff let me know what additional $$ I owe you for the complete package.

I received the springs from Bicknell today. So I can setup the rears and be all ready for the fronts.

-Martin.

Hi John,

any chance you could give Bilstien a call to see if they shipped out to me?
Did you ship me the tube? If so how, USPS? Just trying to figure out if I need to visit the post ofifce every day to check.
We have to leave Thursday, if they arrive on Friday I can probaby get someone to bring them up that night and get them installed before Saturday...

-Martin.

called, got answer machine. will try again before 5.

I guess real suspension for this rally is out then... Fawk! :-(

Thanks for trying John.

John,

nothing showed up in time for Perce-Neige. I got the Strut tube back from you yesterday... Thanks. Still nothing from Bilstien.

-Martin.

I got one insert from Bilstien yesterday. I guess they'll be sending the second one you?

-Martin.
