Mike, shipping by sea takes around 21days from the US to the Middle East.
In Lebanon, goods reside at the port between 7 and 21 according to age. Whatever is up to 8 years old, needs a week. Whatever is beyond 30 years old takes three weeks (after taking the car prints, showing it to a value estimator to decide on the customs amount, etc...)
In Lebanon you cannot import a car which is more than 8 years old. Only classics are allowed, and they should be 30 years old.
Sean, I will definitely be posting pictures of the progress... Ohhh how I would love to show you guys the skills of my bodyshop guy
P.S: This car will be overhauled on the basis of "NO-BONDO" allowed
