Importing Vehicles more stuff

[e30@iland.net (Mike VanAmburgh)]

Al, was your car originally a Euro spec car?  I imagine it is originally
US spec since the individual who shipped it was stationed in the UK?  A
friend of mine witnessed your car's transformation many years ago when
he was stationed in England.  Do you have the name of the guy who put
the Rieger kit on? If not, I can see if he remembers if ya want me to.
