Default Woo Hoo!! Bargain!!

Just scored a bargain!

Will put other plans back a little bit, but just bought a brand new Quaife ATB Differential for the MTX75 for US$350!! ("As seen in the Focus RS"). Current list price is US$695

A guy in the states that had bought it for his Contour but sold the car before he fitted it. He is shipping it to my brother-in-law, and we'll work out shipping from there.

Was it in my immediate plans? No, but couldn't go past the bargain.

More parts to add to the collection in the garage. Maybe if I stopped buying bits I could afford to have them fitted!

Relieved to say, it actually arrived at my brother in laws safe and sound (He lives in Florida). Always a bit of a worry buying things of ebay from the other side of the world!!
