Are there any RI's on the forum that may be able to help me with this question?

Thanks in advance,

I assume you've looked at the shipping cost of importing the parts car from wherever you plan to import it ? And also looked at the cost of rendering that parts car into a condition that makes it defineable as a parts car and getting it out of customs to your home as well as the labor cost of reassembling and or tarnsfering the needed parts to yours ?

I think you are looking at a mighty large number.
