So, no 130 in 2017. Maybe this year. But seriously, I have probably been a little too laid back, and my truck has taken a backseat to other projects. It is completed now, as completed as an importable 2.5NA can be. It will need dash work, and is likely going to receive a 200Tdi transplant. I am also awaiting the chance to go over truck with a fine tooth comb to see if the refurb is to the standard I want. Very hard to do this type of work across an ocean.
I have contact with the shipping company, and have asked that they arrange customs and delivery to my door. Did the drive to Jacksonville and pick up myself thing last month with a 2.5NA 110 PU. For the cost of port entry, the fuel to get there and back, Uhaul trailer rental, and the unforeseen hotel overnighter, it probably is a wash.
Will it be here by end of January? I would expect mid-Feb to be realistic. Thus far all of my predictions have been off. Was expecting in August, then in time for ExPo, and still no truck.
