bkautos Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Great project, calibers turned out great. Can you list where you got your parts from and prices. Ball joints, bushes, track rods, master cylinder kits, and caliber rebuild kits. Great effort so far. For wheels, did I consider ats 8inch classics. hi, my local motor world store, got most of the parts, except the upper ball joints, in total for everything you mentioned no more than £150 i can get you a copy of the invoice, if you have a motorworld near you, you will be able to get the parts at same prices as i got as i get 35-40% discount.

®evo03 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Sounds good a list of part nos would be great. How do we get 40% discount? Surely they could post from uk? Great project! Super results, a link for exact sandblaster would be appreciated too. Thanks Edited January 11, 2015 by brady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Sounds good a list of part nos would be great. How do we get 40% discount? Surely they could post from uk? Great project! Super results If we can all get 40% I would also like the part numbers. Plus I would be willing to post them over to anyone who cannot get there themselves.

bkautos Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 My mate works at motorworld i gets staff discount, i have had in the parts upto 60% discount on some items like draper tools, my draper tool chest and car parts, i use motorworld nearly every day, as i am a mechanic by trade, i may be able to buy some manta bits probably once a month without it looking dodgy as hes limited to how much stock he gets on discount. will dig out invoice and post for you all and just give it a try at your local motorworld, there also a word you can use called C.O.D, so for example ask what parts you want, then says you normally get them on C.O.D and i think this is maximum trade discount this is what i do when my mates not there.
