Just started on another Spitfire project and need to replace quite a phew components. I have been on ebay, Moss Europe and Rimmer bros and am currently comparing prices. The question is; "are there and other places were I can get stuff of a quality and now have to pay through the nose?"
I have stupidly decided to keep record of the cost of every nut and bolt so I know exactly what the project has cost me.
And has anyone had a chassis sand-blasted? Where did you go? How much did it cost? And would you go back and use them again?
Thanks

How about Canley Classics?? Bravo for keeping a record it will give you a reality check and if you sell a record for the next owner.

Canley Classics
James Paddock
Rarebits4Classics
Mick Dolphin
Fitchetts
Chic Doig
Sports Car Supplies
Ebay

For cheap stuff next day I tend to use Rimmers or Canley.

If not in a hurry I shop around.

If a bigger purchase where I might need advice I use Chic.

Not too shabby John, still on my knees doing the flooring, i'm up in Hartlepool at the min finishing off a BHS I started before christmas.

I've still not finished the MK1 estate I was working on when you left,I seem to have either time or money but never manage to get them both at the same time!!!
