... imagine shipping parts here to Europe and paying about two or three times the taxes on them too.
I buy essential parts from VPW. Stuff like gauges, suspension bushes and pins, windscreen rubber.
All the other stuff I have to find locally, for example all the other rubber sections, seals, bolts, nuts, glass, headliner board and so on I can get from local sources. On top of that I buy used parts from Eric B or e-bay and get them delivered direct, not high value parts or heavy stuff or the shipping is ridiculous. Consider buying a wreck or two to strip for parts too.
