Rough cost for a 20ft container to fit a single car is about $2,500. Not sure about the costs of a 40ft container, but there's an increased risk of damage to the cars if they shift in the container during freight (not sure how common it is but I've seen it happen).

Check out other threads in this section for costs. The costs can vary depending on the car and what scheme you are importing them under.

this may seem very, very obvious but the people most qualified to give you pricing on containerised freight from japan are the shipping companies. also don't forget to add loading costs, unloading costs, other local charges etc.

it's a heck load cheaper to just use a drive on drive off carrier. much safer and much more convenient and MUCH more modern.

if you want parts just stuff them in the boot and the interior... but don't expect to keep them when the car arrives cos dock workers work there for a reason...

...to steal shit.

which is even more risky in a seatainer

down where it's better down where its..... you get the idea..

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
