Err wrecker, ford, etc.

Being in Dubbo maybe ring the Sydney wreckers and see what they could do with postage.

Yep, that's my engine cover... is in top condition - only had it on for 3 weeks then had to remove to fit Edelbrock manifold. Not sure if I can post though as dimesions might be a little too big for Aust Post.

They'd be ok to post it but it would cost a bit obviously, still should be reasonable. Just make sure you wrap it up and bubble wrap it so it doesnt get chipped or broken if you do end up posting it.

Get a courier to send it Marcus. I'd bet it will only be $20 or so to Sydney if thats where you wanted to send it. Just find a box it'll fit in and pack the box up really well

That doesn't make any sense... $150 for the wings? Mine cost $340 for the cover, $110 for the brackets and $25 for the Tickford wings/badge - $475 all up.

Didn't the early AU XR6's have an engine cover as well? Or am I thinking of the EL?
