G\'day guys... some queries about 1982 c\'vette

(1/2) > >>

Nik:
allo guys

now, here are a few questions I have, and an explination of my circumstances :)

Ok, im a 20yr old aussie working & living in washington DC for 2yrs (im at around the 6th month)... now, when I got wind of me moving here (I'm living with my parents) the first thing I thought apart from "goodbye social life" was "hello corvette :D"

anyway, so my plans are to get the car I've allways dreamed about having, a C3 corvette, and because its the design I love most - a 1980-82 vette its going to be.

Anyway, on to my questions.

In NSW are there any places that do RHD conversions? or do I have to travel up to QLD for that?

What price is reasonable for a RHD conversion? How much did u pay if u did, and what did u get for that?

I believe its a 3month ownership rule for importation w/o tax in NSW going off the rta website (im going to own it for about a year methinks before importing), do I have any leeway in how long I can drive the beast around before I get it RHD converted? because otherwise that would suck.

Are there any good corvette parts dealers in nsw area? or do I have to do it all interstate?

cheerios :)

ill post more q's when I think of them - ive had a few hahn premiums (ahh the aussie beer, how I miss it) in the process and so I need to rest to think more :)

and welcome me to the forums :D (thats me talkin to myself if no1 else wants to do so :D)

later guys

Nik:

Nik:

import costs

and how much for a decent sand & spray job of the car? I want really really really really deep polished black :)

cheers again

Nik...You should seriously consider making as many mods to your car while you have it over there rather than wait till you get it back here. A new engine comes to mind as well as upgrading the suspension and brakes. I've brought most of these bits and pieces back with me in suitcases during my past trips to the US and I can tell you the cost as well as the weight was nasty!:b2
