Does anyone know of a reputable importer in the UK that does front or half cuts (basically a car cut off at the front bulkhead with all the mechanical bits still attached but no body panels)?

It's not actually for a Scooby and I don't want one just yet, I just want to find someone who deals with them to get an idea of price and availability.

Maybee what you actually need?

I agree with Jase; what you pay depends on what you want. Id forget it though; whilst half-cuts are common in Japan for the NZ market; how will you get it here? Virtually all cars come on a RORO ferry; container shipping is expensive and it has a far higher logistical overhead. Even if you want to fill a container, which Im sure you dont, you still have to arrange shipping and labour in a country where you dont speak the language and no-one speaks English.

Id speak to someone like API David who deals with this sort of kit and ships it on a regular basis. If it was easy Id be buying half cuts not complete cars in Japan.

Which is exactly why I asked if there were any UK importers that do them over here. As you say, I know they're popular in NZ/Aus, but they have the same logistical problems i.e. they have to ship them so I'm suprised no-one in the UK has thought of doing the same thing, although I suppose we share fewer models with the JDM market than the Aussies.

We CAN do this, but actually don't. That's not to say we won't, just need an order !! Last week we unloaded a complete Vers 5 STi wagon without the bodyshell. Quite often we have the chance for these but with space being at a premium we tend to load the bits we have easiest sales for.

Call me if you want an idea or a quote for a specific vehicle.
