Sorry guys, I'm really busy with work and have been struggling to get everything posted. My wife has been trying to take bits to the postoffice for me but she is recovering from an op and still has stitches. So no heavy lifts.
To be honest I've been surprised and a little caught out by the volume of parts that have been sold so quickly. I've been tracing this accross 4 different forums and trying to keep a good record of whats what. Its almost a full time job just keeping up with PM's answering questions etc.
I'm very fussy to make sure that everything is well packaged and I've spent more on postage than I've ever taken to cover the costs.
I managed to send a few items today and upgraded to next day delivery to make up for the later posting.
Got a few loaded into the boot and will try and get them to the post office tomorrow.
Last remaining items will be sent Friday and Saturday and then I will be up to speed.
I've tried my best to keep people updated on when their items are getting posted and that anything urgently required has been sent next day but appologies to anyone who has had to wait longer than they expected.
Sorry again
Duncan

I took them to the postoffice this morning with a few other things and the wee old woman refused to take them due to weight!! LOL
She couldn't even lift them. Advised me to take them to a local depo so they could handle them. So still in the boot and is on the "to do" list for tomorrow.

Coilovers, brake lines and seat rails tomorrow and I think I'll be up to date with everything on SN. (FMIC and radiator to send on other forums)
Anyone thats bought anything recently have been warned about the slower postage so they know up front.

Yes he does Scotty, couple of interested parties AFAIK but nothing set in stone.
Came from my 2002 car which I broke for spares only because the car was worth more in bits (damn shame really)
Gearbox change is slick and precise, no crunches, leaks or issues of any kind from the box of the Reaf Diff - bought it from me to put in his car but now his state of health means he had to break the car before he installed the box and Diff so these bits still have 50K on them.

Cheers Wuz, I think that pretty much covers it.
I've had offers close to the asking price but plan to hold out for the reduced asking price of £1,500.
I paid £1,600 off Wuz, having driven the car on a couple of occasions and knowing that is was all good.
bought 2x wheel bearings at ~£60 and 2x front seals at ~£25 from Import Car Parts and then bought another 2x rear hubs (for the handbrake shoes etc)
So at £1,500 I think its a bargain and I'm making a loss of over £200 but thats my decision and someone elses gain
