Thinking of giving it up (a bit of a rant)

On the flip side, you possibly don't appreciate just how good you've got it in terms of access to parts.

I recently purchased a 72 Demon and live in the UK. Sourcing parts for a car that was never sold in this country is REALLY something of a challenge!
You do at least have the option of grabbing a $1000 parts car from the local small ads and cannibalising it for whatever obscure parts you need.
For someone like myself to acquire such a parts car would cost the same $1000 plus another $3k to put it on a boat, pay my lovely government duty and tax and then pay for someone to get the thing from the docks to my home.
That $1000 parts car is more like $5000 to someone like myself!

I just ordered a switch tonight for my Demon from America. It worked out at something like $100. It'll turn up next month. To you? $50 and you'll get it the middle of next week.

So take heart my friend - it could be a lot worse. Besides, when you fire the car up and take it out for a spin none of it'll matter. Keep the faith. :thumblef:

All the best,

Jon.
