I dont mind trying to find the smaller items as they sometimes pop up for a reasonable price but bigger parts are a nightmare,that was my reason for buying the suburban for parts,i managed to get 2 spare axles,door glass and windshield along with many other fiddly bits but some parts just have to be new.
The UK does not cater for petrol heads..
