im in Northamptonshire, I couldnt bring myself to pulling a perfectly good v8 v200 valiant apart to put my 406 into,so I decided to start with a clean sheet,they should look good together

Just for kicks--What does it cost to get a car across the sea???? Steve

 

[terryr]

about $2400,,but I had to get it from Chicago to new York ,and I still have duty to pay my end .but being over 30 years old it should not be a lot of money,new cars a getting very expensive to ship now as they want a lot of tax on them

Looks like your in for a fun time. Hopefully it arrives safe. I'd be a wreck waiting for a car shipped across the pond.

 

[terryr]

that price includes insurance,im not daft,especially after the storms we have had lately

Nice ride! should enjoy the english country side in this car!

First thing I would do is work on protecting it from rust. The factory didn't paint well inside the doors and rear inner fenders. It would rust soon in merry old England if you don't address those areas soon. The good part is that all your trim except the front is stainless steel so only needs polishing to stay good as new.

Congratulations! I think push button controls are really neat. Are you going to keep them?

 

[terryr]

probably not cuda dad as the \6 will be going .I have a normal 904 to go behind my 406 ,but I do have a pb auto in my valiant so I wont go without,,may smoke the 6 pot for a while if its ok

don't worry bill ,its garaged and wont get wet that often,hopefully,it will be subject to a total resto next winter
