Default I need Parts

I've got to replace a few parts on my 79.

As I live in the UK the parts are quite expensive over here and I might get them from the States.
Can you guys please post some web addresses of vette parts suppliers.

If there are any readers from the UK please let me know who you use for parts.

Thanks

What parts do you need? I can get many from GM Canada at the low CDN$ rate and get them off to you. The UK pound is pretty strong against the CDN$ compared with the US$.

OK, non-GM parts. You will have to go with US suppliers. Canadians source these types of parts from the USA at a great penalty. Our dollar is about $0.63 at the moment. I do not know how the pound is doing.

For the bushings you'll probably find that the forum restoration store (Zip) has the best prices.
