Ok, then thats not so bad then. I thought, oh man, that sucks! But if you're restoring and putting it back on the road then great!

I can see where limited edition parts would cost that much. BMW M parts are like that too. Not so fun.

Replaced the left front control arm and ball joint. Also replaced the axle since the boot was torn on it. Amazingly the control arm bushing was fine. Test drove the car and it drives great. Now off to the paint shop for hood, bumper and A panel.

Glad you got to join the GP club Way, I knew you were sitting on the fence trying to decide, can't wait to see what you do with it.
