We actually bought a significant amount of parts from swap meets. Hit just about every swap meet for over a year, you get some real bargains there. Takes time, but it's the main way we could save money on a Cobra build, if that's what you are after.

XD-XF rear door locks, would not have cost us more than a few dollars each. A lot of stuff goes for what they class as a gold coin donation. Then you also find aftermarket parts cheap as well, aluminium radiators, 16" thermo fans, brakes, pods, gauges, steering wheels etc. We are not talking just second hand stuff here, I think we bought just about all those items from swap meets and they were new, still boxed and a fraction of the new price.
