Let the spending begin

It’s taken me a few weeks, but I’m making progress. Buying parts sight unseen is nerve wracking and trying to figure out if everything fits/works together is a real challenge when you haven’t even seen them in person.
Being in the UK, exchange rates, paypal, authorised international limits etc. have all conspired to slow us down, but I think pretty soon, we’ll have all the small orders “done”.
• Second Skin FFR Pack = done.
• Casey Design Products modular dash (RHD) and billet door hinges = done.
• Lodestone Billet Works fuel and brake line clamps, quick release windscreen clamp = done.
• Fortes New Ford 8.8 IRS and Torsen T2 with 3.27 gears and girdle = done
• Fortes drive shaft safety hoop = done
• Herb Frasers door panels = done. Herb actually promised them to me free a few years back and he stuck to his promise and refused payment when I got back in touch the other day. Unbelieveable.
• Tangent hidden roll bar bolts = done
• FFMetal firewall forward kit, eBrake cover, and replacement F Panel = done
Next on the list are orders for Vintage Performance Motors, Whitby’s, NorCal Replicas, Cobra Earl and that will see us about done before we do the big orders - the kit from FFR, the brakes and suspension from Gordon Levy and everything else is coming from Mark Reynolds at Breeze Automotive.
If you think shipping across the US is expensive, try shipping across to the UK. At this stage, I don’t even want to consider European taxes, import duty etc.
Roll on summer and the next FFR sale...
