my FC - new pics

For those that saw the pics of my FC last time i posted, i just recieved today the new ones from the suppliers storage yard in japan. Im a little pissed off to see that somehow, some ***** has dented the back of the car (maybe a forklift). its two identical dents either side of the hatch, which i know will be a sting to get fixed. But apart from that everything seems in order, check it out

should arrive either end of may/mid june, depending on how long it takes DOTARS to approve my import application, and which boat i can get it on (theres only one a month).
Considering i bought it start of december, its gonna be at least a 6 month wait. 2 months down though so its comin!

So I take it your bringing in this car into the country as a race car or parts car? Just wondering how you were dealing with customs. BTW it looks nice how much did you pick it up for? How much is shipping? If you don’t mind me asking

Yea guys im from australia, we have a different set of rules governing our imports, i can bring it in as is and register for the street. We dont have a dent wizard in aus, and im worried about those dents, they look bloody expensive to fix

Damn that sucks on the dents. Nice car though. Can you hold that yard liable?

Wait, where is the money shot! Engine pictures? You sure this thing has one?

I'd try to get the importer to cover the repair costs, since you have photographic evidence that the damage occured after you paid but before you took delivery.

What's in the box?

I heard from the import company today, an official complaint has been issued to the transport company, and he said generally, they will come to the party and pay for the damage, which is a good thing...
Yeah i am missing the engine shots, i didnt get any! But ill try and get some taken and put em up asap.
in case u didnt see my first post, the cars cranking:
full 6pnt roll cage
bride seats
blitz dual sbc
m's airpod
h/d clutch
