[W126 Coupe] Differential swap

[Iain Gunn]

Ain't governments lovely. For me to purchase a vehicle (Qualified 15 years 
or older and some others, list available online) from the U.S. I go and buy 
it with all the normal papers, or buy on EBay, drive or trailer across the 
border with it, get a certificate from the Customs, and have 30 days to get 
it safety checked and e tested, e test only for cars under 20 years of age. 
That's it
