I am looking at pricing some genuine kits to see if I can justify the extra $$ for a new kit before I do a respray.

I like the Tommy Kaira front bar and Top Secret front bar but only want genuine gear

I also need side skirts.

Does anyone know of an online shop that sells genuine kits?

genuine are not worth the money IMO. i htink in most cases they will last a bit longer, because the cheap kits dont flex (alot of them do now though) so they crack with chassis flex, but in most cases, kits never get to the point where deterioration comes with age, most of the time they are smashed on gutters etc before that point

no idea on those particular itmes, but i know with things like veilside kits, a full kit is about 12 grand, plus fitting and painting, where as a decent knockoff will come in at around 1.5k

havent had ALOT of experience with kits, but this is just what i've seen

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
