If youre doing your car up and you cant afford the brand new factory spares you go to the "scrappers" and get what you can and hope that the car makes it with the help of a half decent fitter ( fergy, wenger, mourinhio are fully skilled mechanics) and hope that you can earn enough to upgrade in the summer, or do you just say **** it and scrap the car ???????
depends how long the patched up parts are going to last before failing versus their cost, same for the new ones. If the patched up parts last just as long but cost half as much, you go with them.
