Hi Robert,
My oldest is about to turn 18 as well. She is not much interested in my
Spridgets. Maybe because I bought her convertible VW. Anyway, I've parted
out several cars and have some some parts lying about. So, post your needs
and I'll see if I can help. I'm currently putting together a 62ish
spridget so I have been digging through my parts stash and have a pretty
good idea what I have lying about.
Other people have mentioned common vendors, but I'd also second the
suggestion about buying stuff from the UK at the moment. Also, you can
check out http://www.sportscarpartsltd.com/ . Sometimes he has good prices
on some of the more mundane stuff.
Cheers,
Trevor
