QUOTE(Punisher @ Jan 19, 2007 - 7:41 AM) [snapback]519195[/snapback] Lots of ways to go about this but honestly the cheapest way of doing it is to have the car sent over w/o engine.. so you are just getting a body.. like that one guy said a few pages back. Then all you have to do is swap vins.. and if you want to be really sleak about it use your st204 to convert the st205 to LHD .. put your gauge cluster in as well.. so that way you have mph/kmh and your original odo. or atleast just roll the st205 odo to match your st204's... Done. It's relatively easy. NOW what would make this EVEN ****ing easier is if you could get someone older.. a parent or something to do this at customs.. some punk kid/20yr old.. that's gonna make it harder.. however some 50-60yr old man/woman... lol Another thing u have to consider.. hoopty-****ing-doo.. you have an st205 in the states... OH **** NOEESSS!! THE REAR DIFF WENT!! OH **** NOES!!! A REAR AXLE WENT!!! So ya.. some parts can be sourced here in the states no issue.. but how do you deal with those more obscure parts? Funny if like a rav4 had the same rear axles as the 205... or maybe the st185? Lots of things to consider.. hell I'm considering moving to europe.. not just for the cars but for a lot of other reasons... if you ask me.. USA is going to the ****ter... They won't even let these cars in.. yet they are no ****ing different than our "DOT" ****.. It comes down to politics.. not safety. Still need to get it registered when it gets to the states. Shipping (no matter what you do) will cost a couple grand.. getting it registered will also cost a couple grand because you need it to be up to us standards. I have read and heard alot about this.. no-one has done it for a cheap price.. No... One... Lol |
