More bits

So i thought i would get some more bits and pieces, i had a friend who had a container coming over from the UK with some space in it and i was luck enough to get some space in it.

After having a look at what it was going to cost me to get the door section repair panels fitting (about NZ$400 each door) I was tossing up the options on how to go forward from here. The full skins were available but shipping was going to be expensive. Even with the shipping (about NZ$150)  it was still cheaper than getting the repair sections installed. So i bit the bullet and got me some extra bits at the same time.

I decided that after all the dramas i had with Canley's i'd try Rimmer Bros this time, The container is being packed tomorrow so i had to be sure that they A) had them in stock and B) could have them shipped to my mates house overnight. So i got on the website and had a quick online chat with an extremely helpful guy called Andy. He confirmed that everything i wanted was in stock and would be able to be delivered tomorrow. So i jumped online and ordered a lot of the heavy/larger things i avoided ordering before.

Two Door skins, left and right :) these should be considerably easier and cheaper to install than just the repair sections. the added benefit that i should be able to make my money back on the repair sections selling them locally. (about NZ$100)

Additionally i decided to get a full set of front and rear wheel bearings, I got a quote for a single front wheel bearing from a local supplier at ~NZ$82.00 each, Which was quite expensive given i got a set of front and rears for about NZ$150.00 from Rimmers

Then i went a little bit silly, but hell, i'm only going to rebuild this car once i might as well spend a little bit more on some

A set of front and rear Spax shocks with uprated, slightly lowered front springs. These springs should be a decent match for the lowering block i got for the rear.

 I thought about this a lot, I've got the Koni classics which will probably need to be rebuilt for the rears, and a set of unknown Munroes  for the front. I got a quote for about NZ$250-320 for front shocks in NZ that with the cost of rebuilding the Koni's made getting the shocks with basically free delivery cost neutral. I get better springs to as well with the option of selling the Koni's to offset the extra cost.

Then the final thing, something for nothing but aesthetics

Meh, why not :D i've seen them for sale for about NZ$130 locally, for NZ$45 i thought why not :D
