Hi Pilgrim!
If I understand correct you have or make parts for the 40 series. This is very interesting. What kinds og parts do you have, and what is the price? If you could give me an example on what you have, and what you can get, and a price example I would be very happy.

thnaks.

hey paul,i too would be asking the same question on price

do you do any other parts?

i am over here in ireland where we have plenty of 40's that need tubs and all body panels

put up a list of what parts you do,pm the prices if you want to keep it semi private
i have been talking to people here to chip in together and import enough parts for 3-4 vehicles at a time or a full shipping container.

[PILGRIM]

We supply every body part for the 25,40,45,and working now on the 55 and rear qrts for the 60, we can also supply parts for the 70.
Let me know exactly what parts your looking for, and Ill f¡give you the prices, I can organise shipping from here if needed.  bulk buying is the way to go , as individual shipping is a killer.
I think a 20ft container costs about $3800 landed.. add about another $800-1000 for a 40ft.
Paul.

[oflynno]

off the top of my head

front fenders
bonnet
front grille
rear quarter panels
floor section
rear corners
and i would like a complete pick up cab for a project

i would think you could nearly multiply that list a few times

if you can get prices together for each part and there is enough interest we could put a master list together of what everyone needs and get them shipped.

we can keep in touch anyway

I think there are a number of us all having PMs with Paul over in Costa Rica....
We all want the same things - body parts for 40s/45s
so...
Let's bring it all out in the open and see if we can put a deal together to get the parts that we need shipped economically to Uk/Eire.
For this to work we would need to fill a 20' or even a 40' container. Paul makes the parts so that is going to take time so the starting point is surely to list the parts that people need and are prepared to contribute the money for (This maybe a wish list now but must be for real when and if this goes ahead). Remember that the price for the parts will have transport costs on it , fees, import duties and Vat on it.
Paul will have a good idea how much will fit in a 20' or 40' so if we start a open list then we can see if we can get it together.

Please note that Paul doesn't do repair panels so parts like sills, rear quarter repair panels etc, cant be on the list

If we can get a list together here, then we can cost it all out, apportion the costs and then, if that works, go ahead.

Way to go?

This is the best way...group buys. as individual shipping is a killer, unless of coarse you have bags of cash which is always useful over here in central america.

We also make parts or turn key complete for the willy´s or ford  military and civilian jeeps.

If you have something that needs to be made, and parts are just not available, send us the original, does not really matter on condition,  we´ll copy it and send them both back to you..
Yours Sincerly.
Paul.

my input on the whole thing would be that everyone puts a list of what they want together

everybody pays Paul directly for their parts,either online or whatever suits Paul

the only thing we need to put together is the cost of shipping a container from there to here,wherever it may be

the worst thing about this is people withdrawing from it before delivery takes place and someone else having to foot the bill.

the other bad thing is getting someone to look after the money end of things with so many scams and rackets out there.

also,just as a matter of interest,could people state whether they are in ireland or uk
i am in ireland and there are 2 more interested at the moment

[PILGRIM]

Good point..
Thats always been the hardest part, if there is one person who could be a contact point locally that would be good.
a 20ft container to the UK costs around  $4000 US. landed..in that i can get about 13 3-4 tubs and a pile more of smaller stuff.
then duty needs to be paid and delivery or pick up needs to be sorted..
I can arrange all shipping if needed, but maybe someone over there has better contacts than I, internally.
As with regards payments , everything has to be payed for in total before it leaves my shop, And anything that is ordered has to have a %50 deposit .
that can be done by international bank transfer..
No doubt that this can be a bag of worms, but if done correctly and above all honestly it will work out pretty good.
Feel free to chip in..
Paul

[oflynno]

well guys,its now upto peeps here

anyone else got any input,ideas,better off saying now rather than when things are up and running

[PILGRIM]

Nobody wants to play..
Just think of a tub shipped to Europe for a shipping price $500 each....
