help getting steel

hi everyone , i need some help!
my problem is i live in france and cant get the rite dimensions for the steel i need to build the chassis and the stuff that i can find which is about the closest is 3x as much as the uk!

What im asking is there anyone in the southeast area who could order me and store the steel at their place for me to pick up as for im coming back this month to pick up my donor car?

obviously i would pay the person before!
that goes without saying!

let me know

thanks guys and girls

I am sure someone would take delivery of the stuff you needed, if you were to offer some liquid bribery

Hi Mike,
Whereabouts in France are you? Round here 25X25X1.5 is easy to get hold of. If that's what you're looking for. As is most CDS tube.
Let me know and I will try to help.

Cheers,

Mike

i case you do not get this sorted, i live near IS & G Steel stock holders in Bechenham ( Sydenham actually ) and have done the same for someone who wanted a small amount of box for chassis alterations.
Check them out on their website and get prices on the phone to see if they have what you like and then get in touch if i can help.
Richard.
