Hello there
Im over here from Switzerland and be happy to stay on your Forum.
I have two Rapier SII , one Cov. for restauration ( still 5 years going) and a very nice coupe using regulary for nice smooth rides.

Now I need your help for the engine rebuilt especially where and how I get parts e.c need new oversize Thrust washes ...

Thanks very much for your Help

Hi.Welcome to the forum. I am restoring a Rapier Fastback and have bought many parts on ebay, http://www.ebay.co.uk/, and http://www.ebay.com/. The problem is the postprice (I lives in Norway). I have bought some parts from other members in the forum. Put in some pictures of your car to the forum, we like that
Regards Jan, Norway

EBay can be good but my advice is use with caution. Sometimes parts can be hugely overpriced and available elsewhere much cheaper.
Try the club first and some of the specialist parts suppliers, speedy spares, alpine west midlands etc.

Yes, indeed good advice there: I think just because it is on e-Bay people tend to think it is the only place they'll get it and as a result pay too much!
