I also cannot store the car at my place... so have to find somewhere to store it until the shell finds a home.

If we get this, pickup will be the prferred method of postage, I'm hesitant to ship everywhere and don't have the time to send things around too often. I can deliver to Sydney every month or so in my own travels personally. Check with me before you decide.

Matt,

Firstly, well done on taking the initiative and laying everything out. Great job. As usual.

Secondly, in order to get absolute clarity and get rid of any "maybe's" I will declare that I will not be in a position to put cash up front for the suspension components, so you need to count me out.

I am saying this to give absolute clarity. Yes, depending what happens I may be interested in some bits, but that is of no use to anyone. Therefore, so as not to stuff anyone around, declare me out.

For those who are serious, you need to put up a solid commitment and back Matt here. If not, you need to state clearly that you're out so that everyone is crystal clear.

Good luck

I'm 101% behind this bid Matt. If we win this bid Matt, you'll get my money early next week
we need to know who's in or out by Thur afternoon.

I can put more money down for you Steve if you really want some parts but, you need to let me know.

I really appreciate the offer Rob, but I think it is cleaner and neater if I stand out. Thanks for the thought though.

No worries Steve. I though I would offer anyway, but I am interested in the suspension now.
Would the chassis subframe be different to the stock standard Focus?

So Steve were your ears burning today at all?...I know mine were...LOL

Let me know if you can store it for me, Sydney would be better for me to get it ship up to Brisbane.

All those are yours chief. All ok and all available.

I'm able to drive the car to Sydney possibly if FRA can pay for the extra fuel and trailer hire, assuming I'm able to get a tow vehicle... but we can work that out. I drive to Sydney fairly often so one of my trips, say October, might be able to bring it up if I can get a car no problems.

Where about in Sydney will you drop it off ? October gives me enough time to work out how I'm bring it up, oh this should be fun.
If we do win this and all goes well, here's something else I am willing to do for you guys in NSW, VIC. If anyone wants Focus perforamnce parts I can order it and bring it down with me in October and no shipping cost or not much going on size HxLxW, small engine parts. Its going to be one of those weeks, I can just feel it

Ok Matt we need a new list and who is still in and who wants what?

I'd drop off to Sydney wherever needed, as long as it doesn't go near my place!! Can't store it with my folks, no room.

Auction is still sitting where it started, just keeping an eye on it! Still 2 days to go.
