Friday 28th September 1990 Steve Muller and I went to TKM at Wetherill Park to pick up my syncro. They drove it out of the bond area after fitting the complance plate and put enough fuel in it to get me to Muller & Muller at Lakemba. The syncro was covered in wax preservative and the windscreen in factory documentation, which I kept. I then had to wait until Tuesday 2nd October (Monday was a public holiday) to have the syncro cleaned and registered. So Steve gave me all of the paperwork and I took it to Beverly Hills motor registry for a 3 hour wait.
