contact this guy he imports alot of harleys into Sydney and was advertising great rates for bits and pieces

Sales@chopaweeza.com
Mobile 0425 216326

Only thing is you pay freight to get it to his forwarder in the USA

But $500 sounds good for 4 large boxes

I'm looking at a 50's pickup in Perth WA that does not run (rolls, but not drivable). I will need it brought to Launceston TAS. Can anyone suggest someone to talk to about this?

Hi Sam, it would depend on what state you live in, a little hard to recommend someone who may be the other end of the country to where you live.. If you look at the personal/log page of the user control panel, it has an area where you can fill out your city/town/state.. If you fillit out ( at least the state bit) it helps people to narrow down information that may help you :D
