even if this idea does "fade away", i think it has brought it to your attention about the lo cost builder, always out there, searching for parts that a lot of members on this forum wouldn't think of selling/donating. what people have given/sold me has helped me loads, without the generousity, i simply couldn't entertain the idea of building a 40, the point i'm addressing is that we are here, we are just as passionate about our projects (maybe even more as we have to find solutions without being able to buy an expensive part that solves the problem) and we seem to be communicating through pm's. the parts i have gathered, have not been advertised in the "for sale" garage, but lots of members have these parts lying around.
so now you know we are here, think of us and advertise your upgraded parts:chug:
thanks to all the people who have helped me. glen
