dear all,
i'm planning to come to Los Angeles next february for
vacation but also to try to bring body parts for my 62
greenbier (which feels all alone in Belgium;-)).
i have two questions:
-i only spend 7 days there and i don't only want to
visit corvair shops, what are the ones that i
definitely have to come across?
-what is the cheapest (but sure) way to send the parts
to europe? (a rear corner, the fuel trap body panel &
2 front fenders). do i have to go to a port or a post
office?
thanks
Best
Laszlo
