[sskylinee]

hey everyone found out on the weekend that Wally is closing his shop down

sad to see him go

hope he can get on top of his finances then he might start up again

Wally's a really nice guy come down if u need replacement parts for ur skyline

Bugger. Z-Imports I've found to be awesome; always gives a shit. Always made sure the part was wrapped up or layed a matt in my boot to ensure the car didn't get dirty.

lil off topic but last time i went there i had some fool worker there run up and start trying to tell me how his n/a supra will give my gtr a beating was annoying the hell outa me cause i was trying to explain what i needed from the owner and kept getting inturupted.

gtr vs tt supra arguable , gtr vs supra n/a not applicable

o and that was stock na supra

it did look like they had some good stuff around the joint but they didnt have much to help me out.

im guessing most of their crap will go to other wreckors around the place but if ya hear when the sale is let us know

Thats what usually happens, my mate Anthony Norris from Grande Auto Wreckers at Lonsdale (who I used to work with) bought alot of D1's stuff.

shame to hear, he helped flick out when trying to get off defect, just let us take a set of reverse lights and said come pay me when you have the money or give them back to me when you done. Really good bloke, hopefully he comes back with something new later on.

I noticed that also, gone and picked up a few gearboxes etc...he always wacked a bit of carpet on the floor just so the car wouldn't get dirty!

Been going there for years...wally's a nice bloke, always helping out!!
