Tta

Email me some pictures of the car. Any idea how much it would cost to get it to the central USA?

Nothing is going to be sold separately.


What the shipping would be to the states, dont know.
From where I live, not less than 3-4000 I guess.
Can ask a friend who work with that, but he would hate me for it because he was the one who got the TTA here from CA.

some pics:
I don't know which one to post, so I just put in some.

The old fuel system (great job guys!)




The new fuel system.
Not beautyful, but functional. All wrapped up in a stainless steel box/frame, (so it's not open in the trunk)

Surgetank




No transbrake and spinning wheels. About 16-18psi


Home;


Under the hood it still looks really ****ty, need hours and hours of work to clean up up there.


What this car would like to have is better headers, that is one of the things on my to do list if no ones wants it. (i'm not in a hurry).

I see duct tape for a coolant cap! Any duct tape visible makes it worth more right! I'm just kiddin ya, looks like a great car. If only we could drive it back to the US. Good luck with the sale!

I haven't set any price. No serious offers so far, so I will just wait. I'm not in a hurry really, but I would like to use my garage for something else.

I'm thinking about to take out the rollcage and put back the carpet and original seat and just use it on the street this summer. That would have been fun.

That sounds like fun!
And I don't have any plans for this summer yet.
But the problem is that I live above the Arctic Circle in Sweden, so just drive down to the south of Sweden is about 2000km (1250miles).
