The matching front wheels are for sale also. They are Weld Draglites, 15"x4" (1-1/2" backspacing). The tires are too old to use. I wouldn't trust them at speed. They look fine but they are 23 years old!!  |

If someone wanted to buy the rear end setup, brakes, rear wheels and tires, and the fenders for a total of $3,200 I would throw in the front wheels and tires.

454,
Would you be interested in packing that rear axle up & shipping it over the pond ?
I might have mis-judged the weight a bit though lol. Any chance you would be able to weigh the setup (obviously without the leaves, shocks and bits you're keeping) so I could get an idea on shipping costs ?
Cheers,
Si

Right. Turns out a mate of mine should be having a container shipped over at the end of this month (Importing a couple of busses & bugs) and there should be room on it for this lot.
What are the possibilities (and cost) of getting this lot packed up and sent to California ?
Cheers,
Si

Ray, you're building one bad @ss ride! It was bad @ss to begin with, but it'll be probably the best V8 street bug out there with all those upgrades. Can't wait to see it finished.

454,
I might be interested in your fenders, as I'm re-doing my car for the street I can't have my wheels past my fenders more than 1", right now they;re 4", How would I find out how much to get em to Ga.? I hope I can get em b-4 I go to england, La. isn't that far from here but I ain't got time to come get em!! You'l have to let me know how to get the $ to you, I don't do internet buying so I'll have to send you a $ order or check or whatever, just let me know. Thanx.

Hey mock1racer, I sent you an email so we can get together. My bug is actually located at a friend's house in Mobile, Alabama doing the welding/fabrication. That is a lot closer to Georgia. Give me a call and we can discuss the pickup of the fenders and the timing of doing it.

Hey Matt, Thanks for the comments! It has been slow recently waiting on MONEY!!! Time and money!!! That's all it is... Actually, I am processing a home equity loan right now... Parts are fixing to start flying off the shelves!! |
