Default Wanted partner in UK

Previously I have been buying parts for my sierra build up from the bare shell up here in Australia.

As part of that process learned a lot and sourced some parts that are hard to find and worked out how to make others...

The biggest market for these parts is in the UK, so I would like to find someone that I can work with to make these parts available and would also like to work with them to buy stuff for Australian cossie guys...

If you are interested please PM me.

Regards
Gavan Hood

This is something I have been pondering since getting bits is pretty difficult over here. I hope you have success with this as it will benefit us all.

From my experience the hardest part is getting freight on larger parts... on smaller parts if the seller is reasonable and will use Royal Mail its ok, sometimes the quotes are sky high though.

If anyone knows of a group that is sending parts of any kind to australia on a regular basis please pm me the details, I will contact them and see if I can get some regular shipping organized.

My wife owns a 300ZX she was able to find such a person from the USA for us... (although I travel to USA a lot she wants too much stuff), this guy was pretty reasonable. It was way easier for her than it is for me from the UK.
