As many know the 84 model year 90's will be a go for import very soon. Just curious to see what some of you guys think about the market for these trucks. Whats your opinions?

If you can find one overseas that isn't rusted or beat to Hell, bring it over, the sooner, the better as the market may well be flooded. Hasn't Global Rovers commented that he has a bunch in storage until their birthday? I wonder if all of the really good ones haven't already been bought by folks planning to do just this? When I went to the UK in '04, the pickings were already getting pretty slim and all the left-hookers had already been picked over pretty good. I spent almost two weeks looking for a suitable 109 to import.
Also, in conversations with folks who've brought trucks over recently, I understand the inspections, etc are much more extensive than they were when I brought mine over.

robertf said:what about someone wanting to build a 100" hybrid on an unrusted southern US junkyard disco frame? Could we buy a vehicle over there, chop up the bulkhead and sides, ship it over here UPS, transfer title, and reassemble the way we see fit and be legal?
I have always thought it would be cool to have a Defender/Series body on a Disco frame and stamp the Disco VIN on a blank Series VIN plate!
