Buying a Lemans convertible while living overseas.

getting a 389 engine from Ebay, that "runs and is in perfect condition"
Getting all the parts for the 389 engine.
Getting it overhauled.
Buying a rear axle on ebay and have it shipped to the Netherlands.
Put a th400 longtail in a 66 lemans.

Actually, do all the above without having a garage!!!

Oh, one more... put flex brakelines from Goodrich in the car.. it sure makes em Good.. ans especially RICH!!! Auch!! my wallet!!!!

No fun restoring an american car when living overseas... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

But, still love my car... I hope to get it running in about a month
