If you try to import a kit yourself, make sure that you understand the process before your kit arrives at the border. You must make sure that everything arrives as auto parts, not a car. It is probably best to not even have all of the parts delivered in the same shipment. An ERA was recently held at Candian Customs for months due to an insignificant detail.
Where do you live? I bought a Johnex in 1999 and had it on the road in 2001. I would be happy to show it to you once the snow is all gone.
