Andrew,
Luke got the trailing arms and discs. I couldnt find the car on Saturday
when I went to the "All you can carry over 10 meters for $50" last weekend.
What an entertaining day! Car parking was impossible, sausage sizzle for all
day stoppers. I met a guy who saves up each year for this week end and gets
a tandem trailer full of stuff.
I was happy to get a 5 speed box for $50, but one guy with Sumo wrestler
type body carried out half a Kingswood to the approving cheers of the
impressed onlookers. Now the yard is gutted but there are a few hundred new
cars coming in this week - could be worth checking out as most of the old
stock was raided of all its good bits. Did see a couple of guys with some
Skyline struts to fit to a 1200 Coupe clubbie.
