Yea I only found out last year bud, late 90s he was bringing all sorts in, the street was like a jap car show at times
Just opposite the BP garage he was at.
Such a character he was :)

Few more odds and ends brought in.

So glad to see that front caliper land as my Caldina is in serious need of one, the rears are just for backup.

Brought a set of fancy front pads in to compare to the stock ones I've been rolling with for the last 18 months.

@Jay Are you finding that the shipping costs are astronomical atm?

I looked at importing some livesport wings for my GT and the price of shipping was more than the artefact! Mental.

The shipping is a killer on most large items unfortunately.

Was asked about them a few months back so priced up shipping a few sets in to reduce shipping. Worked out around £600-650 landed per set which I really couldn't justify. If I figure out how to reduce the final figure I'll let you know.

Three month delay on surface shipments atm. Nabbed another few oddities amongst the usual rake of calipers and brochures.

Bought the contents of some Japanese man's boot which has yielded some cool Toyota optionals.

Can't decide which is cooler, the Corolla wooden box or the snow shovel!

Could be available, haven't quite decided if I'm using it yet (scored a few double DIN's the other week which give me options).

Also I think I overdid the paper work again..

Haven't had a chance to digest everything yet but the Boy racer special is full of JDM hot hatches. Its give me a spur on with my own builds if nothing else!

Randomly landed a set of these. Any ideas where to market 6x139 wheels?

I'm guessing JDM off road rims aren't that common in the UK so the market might be limited..

i'm not sure jay...but check toyota hilux, toyota hiace and mitsubishi l200 wheel sizes....they look like pickup and light duty delivery van rims
