Calling All Aussies!!!

[Glenn75]

Well guys, I finally have the cash together for a Stratos kit!!!! And I even have approval from my Minister for Finance and Fun!! (as long as it's in Chardonnay Blue). I am leaning toward one kit over the other, have certainly decidied on engine choice, and even final look/livery when she's all done. Only one major hurdle/problem to overcome in my mind, and I hope someone can help me with some info and advice.
I know there are a few Aussie Stratos builders here, including a recently purchased STR kit according to the ListerBell site, so my big question is regarding shipping/freight of the kit to Aust. Do I need permission from customs FIRST as you do for a complete vehicle? Is it just considered parts or a full car? What was the approx. cost (ballpark) I should be budgeting for to freight it here (so I don't get ripped off by some shipping company) etc. ANY info from guys on getting their kit here from there would be greatly appreciated. I plan to travel to the U.K in Jan/Feb to visit both Hawk and Lister if I can and make my final order/purchase/payment, so knowing the delivery side before I purchase/travel will put my mind at ease.
