Ratwagon1600 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Welcome dude. If you can post some oics, and, big call I know, post something in what sort of resembles passable (Aussie/Murican) English, theres a bucketload of people here who could probably give you a steer in the right direction.

datzenmike Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Ah, you know what I mean. We don't have Autozone up here. Quote Link to comment
JoeCool Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Just messing with ya Mike! I'm surprised there isn't any Autozones up there, they have them all over South America. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 NAPA prices are very competitive - Or maybe it depends on the independently owned store? 1 Quote Link to comment
thatguy Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Welcome Post pictures Turn auto correct ON Quote Link to comment
Wwildman Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Well here are the pic's of it setting in my back yard . I should start on it in a couple of days . Quote Link to comment
JoeCool Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 NAPA prices are very competitive - Or maybe it depends on the independently owned store? The Napa's around me are ridiculously high priced. And I used to like Carquest but they got bought out by Advance, who I hate. Had a lot of their store brand parts fail. And O'Relliys can't get anything! So that leaves Autozone and the internet as my only choices! Actually I miss the days of independents, Parts Plus, Federated, and Super Shops. And back on topic: that is a good looking Z! can't wait to see it progress... Quote Link to comment
