VB&P had my full suspension kit and other parts at my door in 8 days[and i'm in the sticks]:grin:

I bought my shocks and a few little bits just recently.  They were in the country in a few days and delivered to my house in under a week and a half. Same for the other stuff I have bought from them.

Corvette Central is the worst I've come across.  Twice I've ordered stuff only to get an email back saying there is a 4-5 week wait on 1 part. They don't have some parts in stock. They can't pack stuff either, so shipping gets expensive.

I highly recommend VBandP.  It's a shame they only do brakes and suspension.

Scott:
I had a package in the mail this morning.







I now have a rear spring, and my rear brake calipers back on.  I have decided I'll need a heat shield to protect the spring from the exhaust heat, so I'll have to get hold of some sheet metal and whip something up.  That means pulling the spring off again when I install the heat shield so I'll leave the suspension bolts out for now.

Scott:
I was searching through the back-up drive the other day and I came across a couple of pics taken the day I got the car.  It's at the servo right near the docks in Brisbane.





This is what it looks like now.  Today I finally got the car back sitting on it's wheels after what was probably 2 years.



It's been a long time coming.  I picked up a set of cheap rims a week ago, and got some tyres on there this morning.  So now I'll be able to roll it outside and give is a clean, once my old man gets his car out of the way anyway.

I have also been fighting the engine mounts for the last week.  I finally got them in, so I can bolt the headers up next.



For the past 2 months though, I have been cleaning up the seat shells.



After a lot of thinners, most of the red and white paint that was thickly applied is now gone.  I'll have to clean my soaking container and go over all the pieces again to remove the left over splashes and what-not, then give them a coat of paint.  I'll have to clean up the other seat pieces and rails, then I can bolt everything back in and make it look like a useable car again.

You're WAY ahead of me!!!

Good luck and keep the pics/progress coming!
