Shipping

So having agreed to buy the base car for the project, the next task was to figure out how to get it from just outside Chicago to Saddleworth....

This process was not made any easier because the car came with over a dozen boxes of parts stripped off it, not to mention the motor and (a number of) gearboxes too!

After a few false starts, we managed to find a shipper willing to take on the job. The down side was that to move all the parts I had to rent a whole shipping container to fit it all in.






So by late August, it was all packed and off to the docks to wait for the next boat to the UK and Liverpool docks. (Insert here jokes about loss of wheels whilst in Liverpool....)
