Hey all. First off, I haven't really posted on this site before, but I've used it for research on parts and such that can cross over to the Lexus GX470 version of the Prado 120 we get in The States. You guys are way ahead of the game on the Prado 120 vs us on the GX470 so there's loads of good info on here and I really appreciate it.
So, now to the help I'm looking for: I want some parts from down there that aren't available up here and I'm trying to work out the best way to get hold of the stuff and then best way to have it shipped on over. I have a buddy that lives down in Melbourne (but moving to downtown Sydney right now) but he's not a car guy so he's clueless in this arena, but, I'm looking to perhaps go down and stay with him for a bit and try and gather some parts to bring home.
Are there any really good Toyota wreckers or junk yards near the Sydney-ish area? (is there a different name for auto wrecking/recycling yard down there?) If not near Sydney, anywhere else to recommend? I'm wanting a few good take-off parts from Prados, including some body parts.
Anybody have an idea on a shipping/freight company that could box my stuff up and freight it over?
And lastly, anybody that just wants to make a few $$ and help me out on this adventure? I will have limited time to spend down there due to needing to work (and my company wont sponsor me a work visa even though we have offices there. :-/ ) I would love to chat with somebody who might be able to help in any degree of usefulness.
Thanks!
