Leland's shipment has been passed by Chinese customs! ["Only" taken since July 26]

Final price agreed to!

Will take delivery next week!

Photos of pigs in sh*t to follow!

Along with amazing master classes in cab building from Harley last weekend, things are really looking up on the BFD far east project!

Great news.

Don't forget that other list!

Dayum. How many palms did you finally have to grease to make it happen?

Ancient Chinese proverb say: By doing nothing, Everything gets done!

Or something like that!

I've had things take almost a year to get though Chinese customs. It's all in the paper work.....

All asses er, sorry, bases need to be covered!

Big red stamps (chops). Without them on official paper China would grind to a halt.

Proof be, if proof be need be!



Mr Leland Crooks

Thank you!

More speakerhardware porn...

And the last two...

That is a hell o a lot of stuff! Xmas come early! (not that you get Xmas over there)
well done! Enjoy your build!

WOW heaps of stuff I guess you had to make the delivery worth the price. Looks like shipping was hard on those boxes. I hope everything is okay.

Those are some sexy looking crossovers. Have fun with your build!

Hey Urok...looks great man. I just don't understand your lack of enthusiasm.

Thanks, guys!

Thanks, Dave, man. It does feel like Christmas come early! And it is a lot of stuff but as Dan30 says, it made the shipping and time etc worth it. Just glad it got in.
(BTW "Foreigners" get Dec 25 as a holiday. That's it! Kids go to school. People go to work. We're pretty much drunk by lunchtime and the kids come home and ask if they open their presents now! Listen, you guys have got a lot to learn about Christmas...opening your presents is the first thing you do on Christmas morning!)

Yep, I just got as much as poss from Leland this time. I'll copy the templates and store his as masters and should be able to get a lot of this in China but first time round I wanted to get the right everything to compare. Again, thanks to Leland's very skillful packing it looks like everything made it unscathed.
