Anyway, today has been spent mainly going through the parts catalogue, as now I know my stuff is coming back from galv I can crack on.
I usually like to give my business to lr direct, but some stuff they're not even competitive on, and the new rule of having to buy 10 of certain items is very annoying, I can understand why they do it, as they get sent to them is bags of 10 and then for the most part if I ordered, say 6 they would just send me 10.
But if I want 2 bolts and they're a pound each, but I have to buy 10 that's £8 wasted and theirs quite a few items like that.
So a few bits where also ordered from paddocks and island 4x4.
Spent a fair few quid, but hopefully I should have ordered most I need to get me into a rolling chassis, and the spending should slow down a little.
Springs, shocks, turrets, steering damper, discs, pads, calipers (I ordered a piston/seal kit for mine months ago which where wrong so just thought bugger it and buy new) bump stops, track rod ends, seals, gaskets, new nuts/bolts/washers, I'm sure you get the gist, can't wait to actually start making some progress again
Which on another note, I also need to ring Richards' chassis up this week, as that has been 14 weeks since ordering and they said 10.
Not been a rush for it up until now, and it would have just been in the way, but things should start moving again next weekend and then I'll wish I had it beforehand.
