Where have you had the best experience with buying parts online?

I'm about to pull the trigger on an L400 and it needs a couple things, brake pads, might have to replace a window, a light or two, suspension, a couple big ticket items but it is relatively inexpensive. I'm able to do most of the work myself, and there is absolutely no rust on it. I'm trying to get it ready for a road trip coming up in a couple months and I'm wondering where you guys would suggest getting multiple parts online, where you have found the least expensive parts or had the best experience or where's your trusted source, hoping to get everything I need in one shot.

You've listed some of the most expensive parts of an L400 in suspension and window......
But There are 2 delicas being wrecked at Broadway and Kingsway in Poco. One has curtain rods and the windows look okay. Both are series 1. Bargain with the wreckers for a lower price than they want.
Suspension- Which parts? rear coils (lifted)- CC autos in Coombs. Torsion bars- Ship from Aus Dobinsons or Ironman. Shocks depends on if you lift or not.
Brakes Lordco or B&J parts in Poco. 95 Montero uses the same brakes.
Headlights Rising sun in New West, Rocky Mtn in Saanich, CCA in Coombs, Mardy in Richmond
Online- Amayama trading- good prices, list the parts you need and let them do the searching. Far too much time needed to search the parts yourself. Forget Rockauto,sometimes you get the wrong parts and have to mail back,ask me...
I've forgotten a few, chime in guys with the rest.
Good luck
