Going to the States shortly

Well, with the project nearing an end I am hoping to pop into some of the States-side stores I've heard so much about, when I go to LA in 6 weeks. I probably won't be allowed to rumage through any junk yards, but I'll probably see what Autozone and Pep Boys are all about.

If anyone wants something specific, and it'll fit easily in a suitcase, let me know and I'll look out for it when I'm there.

Si

Re: Going to the States shortly

Is your suitcase big enough to pick up a Motown 427 SBC?

Yep, I'm back now. Dissapointingly I only brought back a new gear **** and some chrome trims for the exhaust. Didn't really get time to shop around and only got those items because we happened to pass a Pep Boys.

Only when I return do I realise I need a new caliper
