For anyone going down the vehicle import path; All up the shipping bill was $3500AUD. Frustratingly the Customs and Quarantine costs nearly doubled the initial shipping quotation. When it arrived it was impounded by Customs to see if it was linked to the weapons act Anyway after lots of phone calls and emails it was released from Customs only to have Quarantine class it as an earthmoving machine. This meant that I had to apply for an import permit, then have it fumigated and pressure washed at great expense. That alone cost over $1000AUD to get the weasel out of Quarantine. Anyway I will be bringing it to the MJCQ swap for anyone who is interested to see a Weasel in kit form.
I have all of the flotation gear for this weasel so it will be restored as floater.

G'day John,

You must be very happy to have the weasel landed in Australia. It looks like you will be taking a while to put it all back together again. Is there any chance of posting a photo of what a complete weasel looks like?

Have fun.

Kind Regards
Lionel
