Cadillac shopping list . . . .

Quoting: Roadkill

I'm keeping the block I've got but a new motor will be fitted . . .

You know it make sense

Roadkill · December 20, 2006, 05:53:33 AM

The main reasoning is the improved oil ways and modern style oil filter fitted to the later 390ci blocks . . .

Roadkill · December 20, 2006, 05:54:08 AM

Plus the increased Hp, torque AND Comp. ratio.

I think you've got them the wrong way round, but still, both very good reasons.

Roadkill · December 21, 2006, 05:04:37 AM

Kinda yes, kinda no . . .

Roadkill · December 23, 2006, 08:44:54 AM

So.

Gas Shock (4) - $66.32 (Rock Auto)
Complete brake overhaul kit (less drums) - $126.44 (Rock Auto)
Drums (front & Back) - $123.16 (Rock Auto)

Rock Auto items = $315.92

Complete sway bar kit - $159 (PST)
~~Coils front and rear - $290 (PST)~~

PST items = $159

Coils - $95 (fronts) $125 (rears) Shipping $28.97

Coils = $249

Total = $724 = £420

I'm converting using 0.58 . . . does this sound reasonable ?

0.58

er its actually 0.51 where did you get .58 from?

Roadkill · December 23, 2006, 08:46:59 AM

Carl.

If you can get a price for shipping the PST and Rock Auto stuff to yours I'll add this on and get the cash PayPal'ed over to you.

That's a "buffer".

I'd prefer to be over and give Carl too much rather then leave him with cash to find !

it aint gonna change that much in the next couple of weeks in fact i reckon it might actualy go down in the new year

Roadkill · December 23, 2006, 08:58:32 AM

Still.

Using .51 makes it $370.

A difference of $50 . . . less then £25.

I ain't gonna squabble over that considering Carl's going out of his way to get all this together.

And saving me a fortune in the process.

Cheque now sent via Royal mail recorded delivery.

It should require a signature on arrival but this is the best way to avoid it getting lost.

Expect it to take around 5 working days . . . So you should have it BY the end of January.

55starchief · February 02, 2007, 08:39:50 AM

Well the cheque has cleared mate

sixpack2639 · February 02, 2007, 10:27:36 AM

My bank account doesn't show any activity yet. They told me it'd be 5-15 business days before it'd clear and i'd have access to the funds.
