Yep the All-you-Can-Carry day certainly was crazy - so many ppl
even though the weather was so bad....
That IRS skyline coupe disk rear end had gone before we got there,
despite us getting there early.
I worked along with a friend, and for our $50 we got:
* 2 pintara disk rear ends
* 3 high current bosch alternators
* a starter motor
* 2 sets of volvo alloy 4 spot calipers
* 2 inertia seat belts
* various EFI fuel pumps
* CA bellhousing for an upcoming project :)
* some other stuff i cant remember
I think we got our money's worth :)
What gearbox did you pick up? my friend (doing the carrying) said
he could have carried a gearbox aswell as all of the above, but i
didnt want to kill him :)
