So I was asked in the rebuild thread what I was paying for what and where from. So now that I've ordered or received most things:

Autopro:
- Clutch kit, PBR - $280.00
- Pistons x4, Endurotech - $170
- Rings, Hastings - $85
- BEB, King - $30
- Extractors, Hurricane - $350

Good guys, and were going to get me all my parts overnight but ran into a bunch of issues with suppliers. Therefore I went down the route of ordering some from the US.

West End Engine Parts (USA):
Full gasket set, Water Pump, Oil pump & Full timing set including gears came to $530AUD including postage. Parts are still in the post, but were great to deal with. Assuming they arrive OK I'll definatly deal with them again.

Member id garrysautomotive (ebay seller):
Warn manual locking hubs, including express postage $230AUD

And finally a chinasoong locker for the front.... $590 with postage.

That's kind of scary how much I've spent on it in the last couple of weeks 8O

Yeah I was going to, then hit that all too common trait of not being able to get the part I wanted easily.

I'm well and truely over finding parts for this thing. Everyone I talk to keeps telling me what I'm doing is a big job. Truth is, it's not, it's finding all the parts you need in a reasonable timeframe that's pissing me off. That's why I bought the extractors, I just needed to replace a cracked exhaust manifold and kept getting shafted by wreakers, hence extractors was a path of least resistance.

The extractors makes perfect sence! All OEM cast manifolds will crack eventually.

yeah that's what I figured. And wreakers are always such great blokes to :crazy:

Still I was impressed with the size of the crack, if it wasn't for the flange the whole rear runner would be seperated!

Same reason I changed mine. Would have been in similar condition to yours.
