Contact a Jap exporter in Japan - I am sure one of them would ship to the UK!

Thanks guys, cheapest I can find is around 1000 GBP inc shipping. A bit rich for my taste, cheaper to buy a whole Starlet Turbo over here!

Hey Slinkey hows tricks? Just one of the winter projects, to go with the 64 Riley Elf for the bread knife and my Type R VTEC Track day toy. Plus a complete strip and re-paint for my GT.

Sounds cool.

Well I paid $1500 AUD for my 92,000km GT front cut. Plus shipping from Sydney to Adelaide, still came in at under 2 grabd, better than any Adelaide import places could offer me.

So 1000 pounds does sound a little steep. But shipping from Oz to UK is probably pretty expensive anyways!

so buy a whole starlet turbo, wreck it and sell the leftovers ;)

I've bought 3 complete hondas for my project... got $10 for the back-end of one of them from the scrappers :lol:
