I bought an engine tranny + front suspension and brake parts from an E36 guy that lives in Ely. Don't know what the scene is like out that way, maybe some of you know him, his name is Steve and he has a turbocharged M3 and a website selling parts and chips etc..

Long story short I bought the stuff (not well thought out!!!) and then bought some seats and had them dropped off at Steves so he could crate everything up together and ship it out. He did'nt ship it out, and after 6 months and about 200 emails he refunded my money ($5000) but still has the seats.

So here is where I need help, if there is a kind soul that will pick up these touring seats, prep them for shipping and get them to the nearest shipping outlet so I can get them here in Vancouver Canada... ups???fedex??? please let me know. You can leave a number and I'll call you or just leave a message on this post.

It has gotta be someone that other members will vouch for, I know this is a lot to ask but I just don't see this guy getting my seats out anytime soon, especially after taking 6 months to not ship out my car parts. I am really not expecting anyone to do this but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask.

Thanks in advance,
Ty

The problem you've got is Ely is pretty out of the way (as you can be in UK). Not many zoners around there. Not much of anything around there to be honest.

Confident?... not 100% to be honest, however he did end up paying me my $5000 back so I gotta give him a little credit. If you think you can help me out I will email Steve and let him know I have a friend that will be coming by on a certain date to fetch the seats and to have them available.

If it works out I really won't be able to thank you enough but I'll try!

Thanks, Ty
