Default Another new Canuck

Hi guys, just picked up a 92 cherokee, high mileage, auto but looks in very good shape with lots of new parts and the best part is I only paid $400.00
so I'm a pretty happy boy tonight.
I'm thinking of changing the auto over to a 5spd and just generally restoring it to the point where I know it will be reliable.
I'm a half decent backyard mechanic so DIY sites would be great.
Any suggestions on what not to do and what to look out for would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Default Where to buy online parts?

What I'm looking for is Canadian online sites to buy parts and upgrades.
The only reason being the shipping, UPS and FEDX both put an addtional $100.00 on anything coming from the states so you lose not only the online savings but ends up costing more than if I bought it here.
Thanks,
Chris

Hey fellow Canadian, if your close to the border, find a friend on the other side or google a company that lets you store stuff there, I use a place called ship happens and it saves huge money. Just an idea
