thought id have a bitch while i have the time...
well the story begins when my uncle cracked the backing plate for my bluebird rear disk brakes....idiot!!!! then the hunt was on for another 1, i rang u pull it in adelaide and they said ' yer we got a few series 3 bluebirds down the back' so me and my dad travel about 1 hour and a half to to get it, only to fnd that the only blueie they had, had been stipped almost completely and had no diff......thanks for nothing u pul it!!!! on our way home we come across this wreaker, cut along story short they had 4 blueies with rear disks, but wanted $75 firm for 1 backing plate......noway was i paying that after i was gonna get it for $20 to $30, so that piss ed me off so much that i walked out of the joint.......... the idiots just dont get it, i would have spent a lot of money there anyway as they had plenty of 1200 stuff i need, thats prob why because they want an arm or a leg for it, its ither that or ive found the secret datto 1200 stash in adelaide, no #### there was 3 sedans, 2 coupes, and 2 utes that i saw nearly all complete i was like 'wow'
anyway note to this wreaker 'its only a cast alloy backing plate not a gold 1'
