I miss the ol uniwiper action, and am hoping someones figured out a conversion procedure, or knows of a kit. I want it to look factory though, not as if I butchered it in my garage.

Something to do with nearly 200 moving parts compared to less than half that.

..My cousin lives in Melbourne, he calls me from time to time for car parts because he cannot get them over there. Just got off the phone with him, say's it's about 60 degrees right now. He's comming to visit, and complains he will be loosing about 25 cents per dollar over here. I had no idea it was going to be so expensive for him when he left the states...Or for me for that matter. ..sorry for the off topic, ...200 moving parts! I can see why it would be better, especially if you're in Austrailia. Is it hard to get parts in general for your car there? My cousin rides a motorbike because it's too expensive to drive a car. He also says that "the crocidile Hunter" is not very popular there...

I can assure you that every grommet, bolt and nut is on sale here. However, it is one of the lowest density per square mile countries in the world, second only to Mongolia. So if you live in the boonies, much like ClayJ, then getting parts (let alone car photos) must be a task at times.

Someone should tell your dear cousin that the car was made in Germany (mostly with Australian parts) and there are at least 5 king size wharehouses who offer almost all of the parts for his car over the counter.

(Silver Star spares NSW, Yarra Spares VIC .....)


He will be losing 30% of his money in value but the buying power is double so its all good. Steve Irwin hasnt been that popular since he held his baby over a croc "Michael Jackson" style.

Driving a Benz in Australia is about 60% cheaper than in the UK.
