Hi
From looking at their website they look like they are great parts suppliers with lots of new and used parts and imports from the uk

What are they like price wise as im looking into doing a mini up?

If any one has bought anything from them let me know what their prices were like compared to other places.


:P steve

sorry i didnt know this

its just they look like they have a great deal of parts availible, didnt wont to keep calling around comparing prices. i thought it would probably be cheaper to buy a whole lot of parts at once and from one place .


:(

Just to add Fuel to the fire....

I bought some stuff off him, excellent prices, excellent Service, and excellent Phone service....

But that said, If i can get it from Karcraft I will - I'm in NSW, and Northern is in Vic - saves me postage !

If its something that only he stocks (Like those Cool Hi-Los he sells) , the yea, great for interstates to go to ....

I got a price on on their versions of Hi-Lo's...i think ill go proper Hi-Lo's as price difference is only about $70 now.

I get a lot of parts off ebay (Mini864 i think the username is) or I raid kazjims stash, lol....i think i need to give him more booze for all the parts, lol.

i ahve generally found NMS to be a little pricey, but he has basically anything you will ever need. there is ALOT of good stuff in that shop.

however, im sure places like karcraft/brickworx etc (depending on your location! i didnt look:P) will have what you are looking for

Defamation rules exist to protect people/business etc etc

Lets just say that you would be silly not to shop around for what you want.

Hooroo
