 Windscreen Dilema
When restoring my Coupe I had 2 choices one to leave the windscreen in place and one to take it out, I opted for the leave in option as there was a crack in the lower corner and I was afraid it would smash if I removed it or then tried to replace it. Unfortunatley now I've found that during my rust repairs the screen has been damaged from welding splatter even though I went to ever effort to cover and protect it. I'm now wanting to know if anyone has a spare windscreen out there that they could sell to me to replace mine, the only other issue is the shipping across the ditch to Ireland. I would need someone to package it in such a way for it to make the journey. I understand that this is a big ask but I'm hoping there is a chance. I'm not in any great hurry for it but just want to know that it can be done.

 Re: Windscreen Dilema
Iv sold my screen to Andy but am struggling to find a company that will ship such a large object to Ireland. USP and Parcelforce seem to not be interested. Does anyone know of a shipping company that will?

 Re: Windscreen Dilema
Try mail@acewindscreens.com at Potters Bar. They've supplied a Rossa screen to the States.

 Re: Windscreen Dilema
You could try Royal Mail - but they'd most likely fold it to letter box size.
From what I've seen Parcel Farce are no better !
