I have looked into this lately and I have a contact there. If you do not have a contact, most of your parts won't make it to the ship (stolen) New engines are roughly $475 in crate and 5 speeds are $525 new. Customs will kill you on both sides for a new car or shell.Shipping is about $4400 (20ft)and takes 10 days.It would be much cheaper for you to go there and scrounge through the wrecker sand make sure it goes on the ship I,ll be heading there sometime later this year.

About five years ago you could buy a brand new bakkie body shell for about $2500 USD before shipping. I was thinking you could import that as a "part" and not have to worry about roadworthy. Just fit all your B110 gear to it (+ ute body parts or new bonnet & fenders). Probably wouldn't work in Australia...

Container and freight is gonna cost you about S6-7K, but you can do it cheaper on a car carrier (roughly $3K), but then theres the customs duties & compliance issues which will cost you dearly if you plan on road registring it once here. If its for track use, easy as.
Theres also the "bits n pieces" option if you can find someone coming over with a container

To which part of RSA are you going?
