Storm · Post by **Storm** » Tue May 01, 2007 9:31 pm

I've posted it up on the FTOOC UK forum Sam. I will probably be interested but I will need to see what money is left when the car comes out of the body shop next week

Just need to organise to get him a FTO bootlid to make his mould...

So far we have interest from:

-Me (QLD)
-Pimped (NSW)
-Nemesis (UK)
-Storm (UK)
-MarkFTO (UK)
-Borepyano (QLD)
-eThix (QLD)
-Topao (NSW)
Uh that makes 8... 3 more than needed... So once this is ready to roll, the first 4 people with the $$ will get one...
I will have a chat to Freddy to try and see how much i should expect for freight to UK...
This may go ahead in a couple of weeks...

As long as the shipping isnt really expensive i'm in... if i could justify the cash at the moment i would buy more than one, im surprised more of us UK owners haven't come here looking for one.

Hi Sam, the boot lid postage will be $67 anywhere in australia. we use vic fast insured freight. UK will be approx $286 just freight.
prefer if it is within australia.

So there you have it. Total
$617 - Aussies
$836 - UK

Now we have a confirmed price...

He said he prefers to deal with just Aussie orders so I'm opening this up 8 units to sweeten the deal a little for him.

However the closure date for confirmation is Monday the 14th with Payment in my account by the next Thursday the 17th.

Accepting 5-8 Orders

I'm still interested.

How's the boot lock going to connect with the cf one?

also are these going to be full carbon fiber? or they going to be fibreglass with one layer of carbon fiber on top?

Sorry for not posting lately guys. Had a few things come up at work which have kept me busy.
CF Group Buys are on hold pending investigation into wether we are going to receive reliable parts from the supplier.
Will let you all know when I have more info.
Sorry for any delays, but we want everyone to be happy.
