Unrelated to my inquiry about receiving small parts from South Africa:
Rather disheartening to see a bunch of T3's in a scrapyard in South Africa, most all of which are in better shape than mine when I bought it.
Lookee here (not if you suffer from depression)

You should get ahold of Jon at FAS in Harpswell, ME. He buys stuff from SA all of the time I think. Mostly TIICO stuff, but he knows a lot of people there. |

How many rear tire carriers, south african grilles, wheels, transmissions and such would fit into said vans?
