as soon as i started to read this thread my thoughts quickly turned to telling you to get the car out of russia proper and take it somewhere(preferably germany).it sounds like the car can be driven and i would think about getting back to the fatherland.how long did it take hitler?the fact that you've had it at the dealership for a few days now makes me nervous about getting it out in the shape you brought it in.if you could concoct some story where you need to take it on bussiness for a few days and will take care of the matter when you come back or just tell them to bill you for work done and that you don't want to have them go any further at this time.then plan a trip to germany or somewher else.
