How much was you expecting to pay? That's sounds about right to me. Another 3k for a third party to fit it and that's providing nothing else needs doing such as new springs etc.
Lol I think that might be an oxymoron
They have a premises so might be worth stopping by at some point if you're passing.
Yeah, as I was typing this, I had a little laugh. I should say that ALL my cars are old... sorry, "classics", so my definition of "daily driver reliability" is not excessively demanding. But if I can replace unreliable parts and do some careful upgrades in order to reduce the number of occasion I have to scramble under the chassis or into the engine bay, then I'll call that a win. To give context; I once had a bearing fail on my old Freight Rover that mashed up the stub axle. As a stopgap measure I filed down the gouged up surface, bolted everything back together and drove about, on tenterhooks until a friend found a stub axle assembly for me. I put this in the van and thought, "I'll just wait until it starts to grumble, then I'll fit the replacement. 7 YEARS later, I gave the van to a friend with the words," Oh, there's a spare stub axle in the back in case you ever need it"! That's who I am...Lol I think that might be an oxymoron
After a quick bit of to and fro, I've bought a chassis from Tamar 4x4, for what I wanted to pay, ex-works. In stick, so I'll just pick it up this week. It's a Richards, so swapping should be straightforward.
Sounds like a result. Nice one, enjoy the rebuild.
