All done, not as bad as I had heard it was.
We got an 84 and kept it all original and put in the 300tdi over in the UK, bought it through liveridge, and shipped it to the states.

They told us as long as you are bringing them through for personal use and not to try and sell then we were fine. they never even opened the container...
