Prices you pay for parts you cant get?

[Vombil]

with NOS once you pop you cant stop... otherwise it becomes a little tacky with for example nos facia, second hand door handles, chinese door trims, nos arm rests, rares steering wheel, second hand crash pad, second hand radio, nos glove box lid, painted console blah blah blah. good second hand stuff will at least look 'natural'

restoring with NOS could probably see you build two for the price of 1. that being said. i wish my pockets were deep enough but I could never only have 1 car gene. i'd get so sick of it

I imagine that rebuilding a car with the idea of using all NOS parts like Jason is, you'd have to have pretty deep pockets going by the value of leads alone. Fortunately for my pocket I've never been inclined to build a car to that standard, just to a standard that is good for use on the road.

Oh I will drive mine! That's why we build cars right!


Very true Byron! You have to be careful!!!

Geeze NOS is a bit to rich for me. Good second-hand or some of the repro stuff works on my cars. Even that's pricey enough as it is...

Though I did pick up 3 H4 LH Torana headlights at an old servo sale for $5 each a while ago. The bloke didn't know what they were from, just wanted them gone.

$50 for a HZ grille. Bargain. Ive paid way more than that for my 3 I have lol.

I paid $400.00 (+ $100.00 for hand delivery to my door) for a top tailgate in almost perfect condition today. Absolutely zero rust or dings.

I'm happy....
