[WT] Re: Import a Willys from Japan??
Hello Techers. I thought you might find this intersting. These guys are about 25 minutes away from me. This is on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada. They have been doing a thriving business. In no way affilliated, just seeing a lot of their imports on the roads around here. Derrin

assess the similarities and differences to the american flatfender jeeps? If there was an easy way to swap the steering over to the left and find an old willys title to falsely register the japanese jeep under it would seem like a relatively easy matter to have a turbodiesel flatfender on american roads. The biggest uncertainty I see is finding parts for one of these as things wear out. I am guessing the body looks similar but beyond that the drivetrain and accessories are totally different. I am not sure what laws one would be guilty of violating in the process but it seems like it would be easy to do. I wonder if you could bring your old american willys plates and current registration with you and drive it home from Canada or if the customs guys would see right through it??? karl On Nov 18, 2007, at 1:25 PM, Derrin Fines wrote:
