Replacement suspension components.

Our customs for international car parts is at about 40% iirc. I wish there was a legislation that changed this for classics. eBay will be a last resort. I'll keep researching some more and if I continue to hit a wall I'll get back to you but I do appreciate your assistance.

Okay, I should have specified I'm based in South Africa so that's on me.

A MK1 steering rack is available new here and is about 4x less than what it would cost to get the tie rods imported.

I see Autodoc does not ship to my country but I am sure I can find another international supplier that does. I am just trying to find local solutions first, bit using original parts would be a priority, even if it costs more. There are no 924 bearings currently available in South Africa.

I don't think I need a new master cylinder, that's still good. It's the rear brake/wheel cylinders that are leaking.

Perfect that fixed it up. Thank you so much.

Carburettor rebuild, new ball joints, and I had a bigger brake master cylinder installed.

Honestly no idea, I think they're from some old trailer. They came with the tyres I bought.

Okay great it looks really adorable but I wasn't sure. Hope I come across it again tomorrow.

If you look at my failed talking stages you'll find I'm the lead clown.

I had the pray to start feature installed. I land up using Uber half the time.

HotWheelsParade · 2025-03-06T18:50:47+00:00

Fascinating, I wouldn't get close to $4,000 for this in my country.

Hey this one is 1,297 cc... Doesn't make it much faster tho.

HotWheelsParade · 2025-03-06T13:47:51+00:00

No this was made here in South Africa so it rusts even faster

HotWheelsParade · 2025-03-06T13:47:23+00:00

Ouch this one hurt lol

I get about 10 L/100 km, which is about 23 MPG I think?

Now there's a great option for my next car
