 MA70 Front wheel barings + scum bag wreckers

Ok seems like this maybe a common MA70 thing,
Started off as just doing the lower bal joints, Noticed left front wheel baring was sad so pulled the upright off and noticed the hole for the baljoint was floged out and oval (IE bal joint was lose in the hole) (supprising how nice it went to sydney and back with the front end so fucked!)Defintly seems to be a 100,000km service item!
Ordered 2 front upright assy's from an ABS equiped MA70 less brakes ($300aud) from a Toyota wreckers in Bayswater... thay arrived missing the ABS sensors and the right side hub baring was rooted... (a fresh snaped off bolt in the brake line support, missing dust cap as well.. VERY obvious it had a fucked baring) today i pressed them apart and the shaft on the Right one is rooted aswell so ill have to press my old ones apart to hopefully obtain a good stub axle.
What REALLY shits me up the wall is the fact wreckers tend to hear what thay like when you ask for an assembly thay send it missing any parts thay can bone you extra for and send you fucked parts, when you ring them up are supprised that you wanted the parts complate and not fucked!
I know where I wont go for a 2JZ-GTE front cut when i get to buying one!
I had to haggle to get them to throw in the $10 courer fee! and for $300 worth thay didnt even pressure wash them.
Pissed off!

The 7M-GTE will be finding a home in a MA45 at some stage!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure its easily legal. They came with a 5M-E (I think) so its only 200cc's more and a turbo

I cant afford that money yet! and sexual favours are out of the question to quote from the movie full metal jacket - "No loven with Black man too big tooo big!!!!!!" and really the owner of that 2jz is i would guess the definition of "walk quitly carry a big stick"!
