Thankyou Chris. I'll be keeping the grooved bonnet/boot, really like the look. Infact it was exactly the car I wanted, Bonnet/grey/manual and originally from Nevada, It was meant to be.
I'm more than happy to talk total price (purchase/shipping/tax) with you once I get my hands on it. When I've found out whether my
'Buy it now' was a moment of complete madness or utter brilliance!!!

I can tell you that even though your car is an earlier VIN, it looks like it's wearing an 83' exhaust system judging by the tips...

Cool... Are you gonna have the cats off it? It's usually the first thing done as they are not required here by law in the UK at that age of car.... Increases horse power and increases fuel economy slightly... Though you might want to leave it as is!

He's just emailed back, He meant 'Auto' as in Automobile!
He's sending paperwork off to the shippers this afternoon.
Happy again!!

well done on the purchase, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with it.
Is the front screen cracked? They are available in the UK through either
your insurance company, or Uroglass in Bromsgrove.
