Hi, im from uk too
i've been on the lookout for a while and have come to the same conclusion- buy from the usa. Its good to hear that two sites ill be purchasing from in the future are good to deal with as I will be evetualy getting engines and photoetch etc from MCG and SD's
I found an australian site www.thepartsbox.com who have a good reputation. They have dome very cool stuff such as a buick nailhead with triple carbs and headers.
