Can you ship that over to me, if there's no engine, it is easy to get it through customs and EPA regulations.....   it's car parts....   I'll source a YB over here....

i'll have to let me cousin know about parts etc. it's his van and car, i'm only putting em together  

the sierra looks good but its not perfect, you'd certanly need a few up close pics before shipping it across the pond

I know how much shipping would cost, but what do Sapphire 4x4s go for these days, in average condition?

between £3000 and £6000, have a look on UK ebay to get a better idea, they vary quite a bit, if you are interested i'll send you some close up pics  

out of interest how much does the shipping cost?

Top plan mate, I love the shape of the new Transit and reckon this would be a great idea.  

I would love to see that Sabine Schmidt off Top Gear take this van round the Nurburgring, you know she would beat Jezas time in it

well she'd be welcome to have a go - i'd have to sit next to her tho  

story goes ... incase your interested, she did beat clarksons time but as ford owned jag they wouldn't let top gear broadcast it as they felt it would damage the jags image and sales, where as it wouldn't harm the transits either way

Hmmmmmmmm   not sure whether I would be sitting next to her (more likely under her)   lol

To be fair mate seeing the way she drives and how much tallent she has behind the wheel she would put most of us to shame, lol
I can't see jezza being that hard to beat really, can you?
