Just a Thought on Parts

[ichthos]

Hello,
After many years, I should be done with my complete Bugeye restoration this summer. This was my first attempt at restoring a car, and I am not sure I would have ever finished the job without help from nice folks on the forum. After my many hundreds of questions, one question I wish I would have asked first was "Where do you buy your parts?" I tried to make it a point to try and buy from supporting vendors first, but they did not always carry all the parts I needed. Has anyone ever compiled a list of companies to buy parts from? It sure would have been helpful had I known about the companies many of you introduced me to at the beginning of my restoration. Just a thought.
Kevin

Somewhere on this website is the "monster List" of British parts suppliers.

And anything and everything you ever wanted to know about British cars.

Is this in the WIKI (I don't think so)
Can someone put it in?

I can email it to you if you want. It represent a few years worth of web browsing, and sight harvesting.

Can't you just highlight all the hyperlinks at once, push control C to copy it, and then control V to retrieve it once you know where you want to save it? I thought about that after I opened each hyperlink from Bill's list and saved each one to my favorites. Of course it was more fun the second way.
