Now, whomever is reading this will most likely know the Egress, and will be chuckling to themselves after reading my shopping list from the previous post…as that list is like a list of the worlds finest variety of hens teeth. Yep you guessed it, this car is missing the rarest, and hardest to source parts made for the car. Arse!
What I have managed to do is win an auction with a bucket load of Egress parts in it. Some I need, some I don’t, but what the hell, it’s been an easy way to grab some fresh pieces. And after some serious hunting, I fear that some of the previously mentioned parts are going to cost me the earth if and when they arise for sale.
The other major win was the screws. Most of the ones on this Egress have seen better days, with most of them being totally over tightened and having their heads rounded off. So rather than spending £10-£15 per screw bag on eBay, I did a little research on the Avante and Vanquish to see which ones had the same screws. I know, I know, this wouldn’t include titanium ones, but hey, that’s life. Needless to say, the Vanquish screw bags were about £3 each, so I snapped them all up, only leaving me short of a small handful.
Let’s move on.
