Howdy Folks,

Well since I've shifted down to melbourne, Classic Motoring is kinda out as a quick source of parts when i need them, so I was hoping fellow melbournians could point me towards a source of mini parts down here, preferrably around the dandenong area (i'm in springvale) (yes, I know I could yellow pages it, but that doesn't tell me if the store whose add I'm looking at is a good cheap, honest place.., so I'm asking here.. :) )

Recommendations anyone? :)

Cheers,

Damien

All Specialising in minis.

Fantastic store... they have everything! And they actually talk to you other than being on the receiving end of an email or phone.
And they have good experience... they have other customer's resto projects sitting in the back.
