SMCKA closing down?
Website says they are closing down, and no orders taken, only what's in stock. Why? What happened? Have bought many items from him. Good to deal with and always great service. Where to go now?

Steve is so busy with his work that he has not got the time to keep this website going and he has a bloke interested in the business and was is going to buy it and carry on as smaka. He is selling all what's left and not ordering any more goods, so if you need some body panels get in quick as the Aussie dollar has dropped against the English pound again. I was at Smakas place 2 weeks ago and spoke to him

Are there any Australian based businesses that have same variety of parts/stock SMCKA did? Place order and it's at your door 24-48 hours later?

I don't think there are.
Its a shame that He is selling up/closing down as it has to be a full time plus job on top of his day job. It was great while it lasted.
Thanks Stephen.

Any news on Smcka's business? Site says there is new stock coming in Sep., so I'm a bit confused given the contents of this thread.

From the Facebook page .....Well, the good news is I have a buyer for smcka. At this stage the sale will complete this month and the new owner will be placing a stock order soon afterwards. So.... If you want any items and can wait 3-4 months then please email me and I will put a backorder into place.
I am glad that it will continue, there is still many people out there who are asking for parts and its a bit frustrating to have be saying good luck after June 30.
The new owner has plenty of enthusiasm for all the old English Fords and is the owner of a few of them.
Nothing will change, new guy will have same website, email phone number and facebook account.
