Importing TJM/TWD parts from Aus to USA?

[taylordelaney]

Hi there,

Wanting to have a fun project and convert a 460 into 150 and was wondering if anyone has recommendations on importing Aussie parts to the USA and the process?

Specifically TJM or TWD bumpers.

Thanks

Did you contact TJM and ask? They're easy to deal with.

Yeah, I contacted both TJM and TWD. Waiting on response.

If you're converting, aside from the steel bumpers, most of the body parts come from Japan.

Yeah looks like a fairly easy swap. I am going to try the aliexpress/alibaba kits along with the mix of OEM parts if they dont meet my expectations.
