1988 Thunderbird from Sweden Reply #180 – October 16, 2013, 07:24:22 PM Yeah, with bigger parts it can be a pita to get it Sweden. Smaller parts always works out, just have to pay ridiculous prices on the shipping sometimes. Quote Selected

1988 Thunderbird from Sweden Reply #184 – January 20, 2014, 01:13:47 PM Wow that's a long time to be away from home! That sucks you pay almost the same for shipping as you do the parts. You need to make sure you get good deals o what you buy. Quote Selected
1988 Thunderbird from Sweden Reply #185 – January 21, 2014, 10:56:08 PM Yeah, quite a long time. But I need money for whatever I decide to do with it :)Yesterday night I tried ordering some stuff.I wanted ARP head studs, Fel-Pro headgaskets and S/C belts.Amazon refused to ship the studs to Sweden, Summitracing refused to ship the belts to Sweden, Jegs had everything but not the belts and american muscle refused to even ship to Sweden.Got fed up as hell but then my friend from US stepped in and I ordered it to his house and then he's going to send it to me which helps me a lot!Decided to go headstuds on my car. Something I should've done long time ago but I had no time. And now I have even less time and going to put them in, lol.Question is if I can do it with the heads on the car or if I have to take them off to do it... Quote Selected
