G'day
If anyone knows the wreckers in Vic - All Ford - would be curious if they've had similar experiences. One bloke who works there (manager or something) reckons fitting aftermarket exhausts to AU's and BA's ruins the engine and recommends against it, then he tried to sell me a stock exhaust for $500 (and it was sitting outside too). I'm not that stupid but I went there again for a quote on a lower half airbox for a BA Falcon 6, he said $125, I argued that a *new* bottom section is only $60 from Ford, which resulted in a mild argument as he said it costs $175 lol. Do wreckers really think we're all fools? Don't give in and search around for prices.. this is one wrecker I will be avoiding in the future. Cheers.
