Aussie expat in Saudi Arabia
Or does anyone know someone who imports car into Bahrain?

For those of you that don't know me, I'm an Aussie expat living and working in Saudi Arabia and my slow "body-on" resto 82 is here too. Unfortunately, my front winshield has a large crack in it and even if I could find someone who repairs cracks out here, it's too far past that stage already.

My only other option is to buy a new front windshield, however, I can't find one locally. I can get one from the USA but the shipping price is HUMONGOUS and I got to thinking that maybe somone in the US miltary could have something brought/shipped out here at a far better rate. I think a boxed up screen would be too heavy for the APO system, but perhaps someone who's a crew member on a C130 or C5 etc? Or maybe someone in the navy?

Conversely, does anyone know someone in Bahrain who imports cars or container loads of parts?

Any takers or anyone got a better idea? A big "thank you" to anyone who can help me out here
 
Here ya go, this guy could probably get the shipping job done cheap!

Seriously, I might be on to something here. Can you Americi chaps provide me with some contact details for a windscreen merchant (who would have a screen for an 82) in Phoenix please?

Wayne, I am going to be in Phoenix this weekend. If there is something I can do to make this work, let me know.

Just go to Google and search "windshield replacement phoenix az" - you'll see quiet a few shops, most list address, phone number and even a map... :1st:

Most of these glass shops can get the windshield.
 
Bit of a long story but a very helpful guy in Bahrain managed to get me a screen. He had a friend going to Kuwait for a weekend and screens for 82 Vettes are available there, so he asked his friend to bring one back for me

Hell of a lot cheaper than shipping one in by air!
