Priorities??

Hi All,

Looking for some advice from the collective masses..
Last time I was playing with 1200's (10+ years ago), I could pretty much go to any of my local wreckers and pick up most parts. Now things aren't so easy it would seem .
So I will continue to gather the bits I need to restore my coupe while keeping an eye out for the "hot" bits. This is where I need your help!
What should I put priority on? I have no idea what is "rare" or "hard to find" these days. I want to get the usuals like oval port head, twin DHLA's, 5 speed, ute diff etc. Should I be jumping on any of these when they happen to turn up or do some of them pop up all of the time?

Thoughts people?

Try to get in touch with your local members, go on a cruise or two and see what parts they have first.

Fair to say 5 speed very rare, every thing else still pretty common

Thanks guys,

gives me an idea as to what I need to look out for as I go along.

Always interested in good gear but need to prioritise my funds thus my original question. Will give you a yell when I am ready (and cashed up) to buy, if still available.
