Locals...here is the start of some of the parts from Wally Rudken..

 still have to firm up details on his 2005 Hyundai..(I don't know mileage yet)..but CarSales has them for $4500-$6000...but this will be a bit cheaper, we think...anyone out there that can do a rwc for us??
 David and I have to go back to get all the workshop equip,, so will detail and price this later..SOLD>>
 later...SOLD>>

 $200..***SOLD***
 David does know a bit about this..Wally bought it complete with the starter kit..(stand-clamps-end cutters-collets )..and this sells new at H&F for just over $2400....it has done maybe 3 hours work, we think..price will be $1700.......<<SOLD>>


 these are some mag wheel spacers, go from late ford 70.3mm up to 83.1mm..he paid $80 US...we're thinking $80 aust for the 4..
 these appear to be Speedway Motors items..we will say, $200 a pair.


 These came from C&W...paid $150 a pair for them...lets say $120 a pair..
 a no name 30" steering column...looks to be new, but you can see where it has been clamped to a column drop..on the net, we found some similar that sell for $295 thru to $359..so we will say $220.

 this is a VN-VQ Commodore rack, fully rebuilt by Fulcrum Suspension..Wal had $300+gst exch. written on a slip...then knocked it down to $150..we are needing somewhere close to that..
 American Racing caps are about $20 US each, plus exch rate and freight..so we will say $80 for four
 Looks like a Speedway Motors flathead ready to run electronic distributor.....SOLD..

 new SoCal dead perch is $160US, so we will say $160 aust...SOLD..
 Wal had $50 on this ..retail is $69..how about $45..SOLD..
 not sure what it fits..$10..
 pair of Chev short pump alloy pulleys..$60 the pair

 alt pulley, $20
 front shackle set..$50..SOLD..
 9" 3.50 used gear set..looks good..$160....SOLD...
 lower shock mounts...they look like they have been fitted up..but I don't know..say $120 pr..SOLD..
 These would have to be worth a bit..can't buy much like this anymore..all the good combos have gone!..$500 for the plates.
 new Pete n Jakes short shocks..$125 pair.***SOLD***
 hold the press....sold...
 3 old licence plates..$10 lot ,,SOLD  <<

 New narrow SoCal axle..$395

 wood hood bow kit, and header panel and  set of home made folding irons he made...$500 the lot.  SOLD..
 32 chassis, boxed, tube k member...I looked on the net and in some magazines.., these sell for $3700 to $4800...it has been prime painted..looks like a T350 gbox mount, but no other mounts...We will say, $3500 should be fair.

 nice sb chev finned valve covers...Wally had $220 written on the box..open to decent offers...
Likewise offers on the matching aircleaner..Wal had $80 on the box...over to you to decide what they are worth to you...Greg 0437 323133..greg@comstar.com.au
