........ I haven't heard anything when my car will finally be transported to Germany........... I check every 5 minutes my Mail account ( I'm already thinking about going to the doctor about it ), that I'm not missing a thing ..........the only thing that helps is to wait, I've already asked when it will continue...... That's all I can do......

Do you think someone at customs liked that M1009 more than you think?

 

[german m1008]

........ I hope it's not like that ..... lol

Irgendwelche guten Nachrichten? sicher angekommen ist die M1009?

 

[german m1008]

[german m1008]

......... apparently it has minor transport damage




But I think I can live with that

....... the joy was huge to finally see the truck live.
....... unfortunately it now takes a certain amount of time to satisfy the German TÜV and to take care of all the formalities ......... so it is time to be patient again

Looks good to me. It was a long trip my Friend. That is all easy touch up. I expected worse after all the hands that went handled it. Thank you for the update. Enjoy. If you have problems with anything let me know. I will try and assist. Sending paint over is impossible. Thank you.

I really like the way it sits with the 4 new leaf springs. it really looks like new. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I bought it in 1996. New Mexico National Guard unit. All the numbers were painted over when I bought it. It was barely used. Good Luck.

Congratulations Sir, that's a fine looking vehicle you purchased.

Real nice work cucvrus, well done.

Do you have any updates? Has the vehicle been released to you? If not what is holding it up from being released? I hope you have it or at least have a time line that you will have it. This transaction started back in June/July. Keep me posted.

Here in Germany it is not so easy to register a vehicle that is a bit older and then comes from another continent also........ what I mean by that, it's better to have a professional do it.
I have not yet worked with this workshop, but it was recommended to me as very competent.
Almost in the same breath it was said that they needed a little longer for everything.
I probably underestimated the need for longer.

Covid-19 doesn't make the whole thing any easier at the moment........ for all sorts of things you have to make long appointments today where you just went last year and said ...... here I am.

At the moment everything takes a little more time. I certainly don't like that at all.

....... in the end there is only one choice, no matter how difficult it is........... wait and be patient.

........... well, I didn't sell it ........ I hope it didn't fall off and is now broken ( LOL )..........
