    Welcome, Dougie. From what I've read about Mk 2s over here ... bring it with you. Good MkIIs are pretty rare in Aus.

    Enjoy the forum and the Melbourne crew will be pleased to see you when (if?) you move out here.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Hi, 3 doors are pretty much no existent. Don't under estimate the costs involved. My mate just brought in a Corrado Storm and a MK1 turbo. They fitted in his container but it cost him a fair bit in taxes to get them on the road.

    Hello from Scotland

    I have heard that 3dr mkII are scarce over in Oz, but i didn't think that bad, need to be looking into a cointainer then.The bottom picture is the road to Ullapool taken from the lay by at Braemore junction, its a great road for a day out driving. I will post up pictures of my white one rebirth asap for you, its coming along nicely, hopefully back on the road this month. Its a F reg 88, not that many small bumper left over here either, but plenty 90 spec's, big bumpers about, 3dr and 5dr. I,m from dunfermline and stayed in Inverness and gairloch in the past.
