Lol try ringing him, why have a phone if you don't answer it, I heard he sometime shows up on Saturday, I need seatbelts for a run on Sunday and tried the last few days to call him too see if he will be around on Saturday, I'm only driving 2hours on a gamble

Better be worth it, I have a few green backs to burn, so hopefully can get a few other goodies too while there

other than that join the list of people waiting to hear back from him. me im lucky its next suburb over.
as has been pointed out a million times before. this is his side business, he does this one to get cheaper parts for himself.

You're learning fast, you should have checked out previous threads. Try Vollks or Just Kampers next time ,they're much more professional and fast or just ring Mick motors.

Check out the overseas suppliers, take into the cost of the item including the postage, if it is cheaper buy it there, this is only one of the reasons that I buy 90% of my parts from OS,

If I want something urgent, i get it OS. its faster most cases and I don't waist lots of time looking for it here, often never finding it.

its not that we don't have the parts here, its just many businesses haven't embraced the online world here making finding info a tedious and often unsuccessful process.
