Further all under the stipulated scenario, transportation in New Jersey, loading in the container, sending to Kotka, arrival, unloading, Peter, Moscow, Engels. The pleasant expectation, the drunk alcohol, сгрызанные nails, is shorter everything, than expectation of that that interesting and valuable to you is interfaced.

Congratulations on the car getting to you safely. It looks like a nice project and hope to see many pictures of your progress in fixing it.

Thanks, are necessary a hard way.
Purchase of a car without survey is fraught with troubles. On a car photo always looks better, as well as in my case. But anything, the rising road will be mastered by the going.
Whether there are on a site people who live in Russia or in territory of the former USSR?

Good luck with your project. You can get lots of good advice here on this site, but often help from someone more local can be better. There are some Packards in Russia but to my knowledge by far the largest group of Packard owners nearest to you is in Scandanavia & Finland where there is a very active Packard Club, the Nordic Packard Owner's Club. You'll find all worldwide members of The Packard Club (PAC) listed in the club directory available to all members. Almost certainly you'll find someone reasonably close to use, familiar with your car and ready to be helpful.

Thanks.
Let's search.
Throw off to me the reference to addresses of the international clubs, I can not find, I the beginner.

Here are some to start.

Also member Gusha here on the website is pretty familiar with the state of the car happenings in Russia, the former S.U, and most of eastern Europe..
