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. TT

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. Chris |
