That is one awesome Esky. I'm in love. I was building a grp 4 Tarmac spec Esky but I ran out of time and motivation, let alone money.
Enjoy the forums and do whatever you can to get that escort here.

Welcome to the forums.
The current regulations are such that the vehicle being imported has to be 100% stock in every sense of the word - yours isnt. You could try and bring it over as a race vehicle, however, you need a CAMS license to be allowed to do that too. If you thought it was going to be as easy as putting it on a boat and picking it up, your in for a big surprise. |
