Have followed other builds of yours on different platforms and am always impressed. Can’t wait to follow along with this one as well. Cheers

Was so pumped to see this thread. His Samba Syncro build was LEGENDARY. We are all about to learn a lot.

Pack a lunch and dive in -

Direct from Japan….. I can only imagine the shipping costs… I ordered a few little parts, about 2lbs worth from Amayama. I think shipping was $30.00

Shipping is expensive.......stupid expensive to the tune of $400 for 5 wheels ( I did order some smaller items as well). That said they were exactly what I was looking for, welded 16" wheels that look exactly like the OEM wheels and allow me to run taller skinny tires, sizes that are no longer available in 15".
