Re: Parting out 86 4wd automatic

Squiggle- don't worry about the steering wheel anymore i got another one i'll talk to dad about the rest USPS says it'd be $58 to get a box to Aus, I'm not sure how much more to get it to your exact location. If you want to look up a different option, It'd be shipped from Boulder, CO 80302 Coolant/...
