    Gillman has the better quality parts....Majority are under cover, so less chance of getting damaged by the elements

    Gillman is out of the way for me but I may head there tomorrow, if I have time. As for damage I find at UPI the sun is the least cause of damaged parts, bloody rough arses that get in and hack away as quick as they can to get a part off causes the most problems.

    If you do get a chance, ring DBR Holden dismantlers....They are located in Salisbury plains....He sells stuff cheap as and it's not crap.....

    Of course, time maybe your enemy.

    Another wrecker down your way is Auto Salvage Recyclers
    9 Chrysler Road Lonsdale (just round the cnr from U pull it)

    81860111....Might have some luck with him....I've bought some things from him in the past and his prices seem reasonable

    I only need a couple of things now, heater box and a headliner. I can get both in Tas, I'm just not 100% if the heater box they have is the same one as I have, as it is sitting in the back of a wagon already removed. I don't really even need a headliner as I can just use mine, but for same day fitment a spare would be ideal and get it recovered, ready to go in. I would have grabbed a heater box today but none of the cars I looked in had enough dash pulled out to make it a quick 20min job. I reckon I would have been inside a hot car, sun pelting down for a good 2hrs. I CBF in the heat today.
    What I may end up doing is taking a chance with the heater box that's already out as it certainly looks like the right one.

    Here is a vid of the dyno run i had done today. As already mentioned I am sitting on 121kw, pretty happy with the results. May or may not happen this year but heads are next. I just need to save up a $1000 for the head work.
