adam...im still doin it coz its what i know..i was hussling parts from when i first dragged a 9 inch diff out of the bush behind my honda dream at 13..
from that age i have been in the motor industry wether it was in holden spare parts or a panel shop doing prep work,i did a heap of different car dealer jobs and always hussled cars and parts..even when i went and drove government buses in sydney for 6 years i still did cars and parts..
natural progression ended me having my own wrecking yard coz as i got older i figured its a hobby lets make it a legal hobby where im the boss.
20 years later im trying to restore my cars as well as thousands of other peoples cars as well..
to cope with the levels of sanity needed to stay out of the asylum i sometimes need to be extremely straight forward to customers who want stuff yesterday and also want it cheaper..
educating the general public that it is 2010 and a lot of these parts are not made anymore is sometimes very hard..
unobtanium is a precious commodity and should be treated like gold.

I sense a lot of anger from u all - take a deep breath.....
As a customer I can say that i would rather walk into a shop and see what I am buying than buy off a photograph. I would rather walk into a shop and talk to the person selling me the item. There are only a few I would trust to buy over the phone from and do the right thing by me. And thank you to the ones that do. All the other idiots (customers and sellers) are glass-lickers... just like those that get into the taxi on a sunday morning... they even bring their own glass! LOL

latest update:
"ädam, i will give you "$2k grand + my 253, 4 sp (unknown cond) for your WB statesman and all its running gear + all power windows and interior for a ute then i give the WB statesman back to you at which point you give me one of those WB 1 tonnas to me in return for the WB statesman shell back."

unreal, even got his misses calling me wanting to know when all this can be done.

So he wants all parts from a statesman as well as a tonner for $2100? Bit optimistic isn't he? If you're selling stuff that cheap I'd be tempted to do a truck trip across the nullabor.
