Asbestos used in construction of the C6???

Conversion
Thanks Torquetube, but as you know there's more to a car than just the engine.
Yes sir all cars under 30 years of age need to be converted ( read :- butchered ) to RHD.
These 'conversions' can only be done on these late Vettes by registered RAWS workshops. Cost to do a C6 is some $49.5kAus.
Fortunately I'm building under ICV ( individually constructed vehicle ) status, so I can convert myself, as I'm using this platform as a donor car for a 'special'.

Yep, as stated since AUS is on a tangent right now, leave the car on the ship, and have it shipped back out for for resale elsewhere. Your going to take a hit on the resale, but at least your going to get some money back, verses sitting on a pile of parts in country that are worthless isntead.

Ross I think maybe you are being just a little too concerned. I personally would think more likely they would be more interested in the air conditioners in those cars regarding the type of gas rather than asbestos because older cars are required to be degassed before being brought into the country. I had some clown chasing me re degassing certificate when I imported mine 10 years ago but in the end he was just talking sheet and there was no issue when the car arrived. They need to justify their job and personally the less you complain (read and thereby make yourself a target) the easier it becomes. One would think that considering all the other vehicles you have brought in without asbestos related bulldust then there will be no issue with this one either. Relax - maybe one of the other cars had some sealed containers built in and suspect for a drug mule. Keep your head down I suggest lol.
