Did a Yellow Pages search for Compass Welding Services,Nothing.
 
is he compass welding? i saw some ads in craigslist last night for compass welding...looks to be a marine type welder...thats what i got from it anyway.

not sure why he'd want to bring in a boatload of 2LT's though...

Maybe collecting blocks for boat anchors?:D
 
These may be the only cheap Toyota diesel engines from Japan. I am still waiting on prices from my guy. May be 2lt's and 3l's are readily available. Seems good 13BT's are getting very hard to find in Japan and the Yen continues to rise so things will not get any cheaper. I know that when you import an engine from Japan, you get what you pay for.
 
my friend is bring in a container load of kie trucks ( 7 ) of them he has an acount with a jdm broker he gave me access to his acount so i could browse the auction listings to see if i wanted anything , the prices i saw with exhange brokerage shipping ect were still 40 to 60 percent cheaper than what the jdm sellers here are charging , the kie trucks he is bringing over are suzuki carrys , i wont say what they cost him , but not alot . i was considering bring in a jdm car but decided against it because it would take up to much space in the can and my percentage of the shipping was going to be over half . if he brings in another load i may try and get a grad 2 to 3 land cruiser just for fun , the auction prices seem to go way down on the beaters .
