Donar parts from Kitfit

Yes they are plus VAT.

I thought it was quite reasonable being refurbished etc.

It can be done cheaper with a little shopping arround.

You could get the disks from a local factors for ~£25
Bearings half their price with shopping..

It's a question of if you want to do it on a budget or let somone else take the strain.

There's also the assumption that most builders will be starting with a donor car, and will have all that stuff already, so although it may well need refurbishing, it may not, especially if a car with an mot has been purchased, and that way they will qualify for an age related registration whereas buying a bunch of refurbished bits will result in a 'Q'

Not saying that Q is a bad thing, but many people see it as a drawback

I am not refurbishing anything that does not realy need it.

Most of my bits have been sourced individualy.

Engine from one source.
Gearbox from another.
Front Hubs another.
Rear hubs , shafts , diff and drums from another.

And various other bits from my stocks..

It probably would have been more cost efective to strip a doner but I already have 1 car ( Mondeo ) to stip and no time to do it.

Thanks for the input guys.

I have a trade card for halfrauds and im on trade discount at my local factors so things like disks, bearings etc will come from there, i just thought for the bigger stuff it would be useful.
