Burn out/Donut kings, and regular guys

I wouldn't expect them to do anything bad.

But if it's second hand parts..things can go wrong. To certify every bit of a second hand engine and give a 'like-new' warranty is very difficult. The risk is yours not theirs. You can always choose not to buy whatever it is, but they have to sell it to pay the bills and keep their business running.

Dodgy businesses never lasts long. These guys have been around a while, and are strong supporters of the Australian Datsun scene.

I have known Anthony and Paul at Grand Auto Wreckers both personaly and in business for around ten years. At no time have I (or anyone I know) had a bad word to say about them. They have always gone above and beyond to help me out when building my cars because after all apart from being in business they are Datsun nuts just like us!

people who run/work at wrecking yards don't seem to be much for answering the phone or emails.

long drives can be a problem. I'm lucky that i'm in the center of wrecking yards and offroading suppliers, with some areospace and hotrod parts thrown in, I suppose if it's not within 100 miles of here it probably doesn't exist ( except in AU!! )
