Hey sorry i totally missed your question!

i didnt really had to purchase any parts most parts i reused from the Donor car.. but i had to Purchase a New C32 Fuel Pump which Cost 800+
and had to get a New oil Pump 300+ aswell, which was not in stock so they ordered it from Germany those two items was the only major setbacks/bugs.. everything else my mechanic took care off.
