Arrivals!

So after the trauma of finding the right shipping agent to get the car and all the parts collected up into the container I then just had to wait and worry about it travelling over to the UK and wondering just what it would look like when it arrived.

I needn't have worried as when it arrived it was all in one piece (actually all in about a thousand pieces) but not damaged and boy did I have a lot of cardboard boxes to open!

Stan came along with me as we needed two vans plus the trailer to manage all the parts, the engine and the car (which itself was full of parts in still more boxes!).

The car and parts had already been taken out of the container by the time we got to the Shippers depot in Liverpool so all we had to do was load up. Thanks to the guys from the yard who pushed the car onto the trailer as the electric winch decided to break down.

My mistake though was to load the car on nose first as the tail overhangs more than the nose and when the ramps went up they rested against the body and by the time we got to Saddleworth, the checker plate had worn a couple of notches into the fiberglass... Oh well, a bit of filler and sanding should see that right.
