I'll leave it for now, anyway, as it's the only bit I now need from Kanter . . .

Gas Shock (4) - $66.32 (Rock Auto)
Complete brake overhaul kit (less drums) - $126.44 (Rock Auto)
Drums (front & Back) If required - $123.16 (Rock Auto)

Rock Auto items = $315.92 = £185 (max)

Complete sway bar kit - $159 (PST)
Coils front and rear - $290 (PST)

PST items = $449 = £265 (max)

Total = $764.92 = £450

I'm converting using 0.58 . . . does this sound reasonable ?

Actually, according to http://www.forex.ch/converter.htm that's only £390 !!!

Pound is at $1.96 almost !!!

Obviously deduct a little for paypal . . . .

Total haul from selling eBay bits = £150 (left over)
Christmas bonus received today = £75

Should be receiving another £75 as Xmas prezzies (I asked for cash)

So I should able to find £300 ($550) minimum.

Then I'm owed a further £200 for O/T.

My Caddy's gonna have a Merry Christmas . . . . Ho Ho Ho !

With Carls help I hope to buy EVERYTHING left I need for the steering/suspension and brakes December/January.

With that and the stuff I've already got It'll mean a complete strip-down of the Cadillac as soon as the weather permits.

(volunteers in advance, please.

Let's just say I have an established engine builder used to vintage blocks doing some looking for me at the moment . . . .

The company have been going 50 years and happen to have had a tri-carb Caddy as a 'shop vehicle a few years back . . . .

I'd say yes, but the list of jobs that NEED doing on the Camaro is increasing, and the MOT is due in Feb.
