Hi Alga,
What happened to hubs, brakes, diff prop, driveshafts etc?
Dont get me wrong I'm not saying this is the only way, Ive seen the question come up a few times and for once I felt happy to be able to share my experience instead of just reading others, I'm still in the very early stages of my journey, the forum has helped me a lot in the last year while its just been thoughts in my head, different donors will have different markets for sure and each will need research.
One downside I forgot to mention was the amount of time it consumes, creating listings, dealing with the silly requests, people agreeing to buy bits then dissapear etc.
That said I have met 2 or 3 really nice people who have a real interest in their cars. Overall I'm enjoying the experience and its getting me closer to the build
