Just wondering if anyone has had anything to do with these paticular panels
Comments / good / bad / buy elsewhere - any help or input appreciated
Radiator support repair section - rares do one as well
http://www.ebay.com....=item3a6cd5fd4b
Left and right side needed lower quarter - rares
http://www.ebay.com....=item3cb83154f4
This bloke also does the same for $75
http://www.ebay.com....=item3a6d34d569
And the beaver - i believe rares do the same panel
http://www.ebay.com....=item519b26c76e
Cheers

Last seller does all of that stuff. He does good work, cheaper than rares. I live in the same town.

I got these
From Muscle car parts (which as far as i know supply rarespares)
Mine are for an lj but i am very happy and i believe they wer worth every cent i spent on them.
You can go look at them instore (rare spares or muscle car parts) if there is one near you to have a better look for yourself. But mine fit perfectly and i need very minor if any adjustments to the pannels. Some of the rarespares parts are made in shop however and those ones sometimes require more altering. (as i found out with an inner fender)

Have checked them Chopper and they seem to do a lot of LC/J stuff but not much in the way of LH/X - have sent them an e mail - cheers Hayden
Rang Paul Neil and had a yarn - does the beaver but not the quarter repair pieces and the rad support piece is the Rares one
I will definitely be calling in to see what he has on offer while i am down
Liam according to his site only does beavers and doors - not the support panel piece or quarters
Be nice to have a "one stop shop" with quality bits

retro rods makes some of the best repair panels around, always fit well and he's relatively cheap too which is a real bonus

Thanks for the reply Hayden - rang Tony from there and they don't do any yet and maybe later next year
Basically only what is on the site but apparently do have repro bumpers sometime after X-mas both rubbered and not - recons 450 to 500 mark for those who may be interested
No Joy with the Retro rods yet - not answering the phone

Repro bumpers you say? If the quality and fitment is right, they'll fly out the door. And I'll be getting at least one pair if they're good enopugh.

All done and dusted
Spoke to Gavin at Retro Rods - knowledgable bloke and apparently they supply to 65 odd other companys who sell bits.
Have to wait for the new lower radiator box support section as they are out of stock but at $200 compared to $280 minimum starting price elsewhere for the same product made by the same people -- i'm prepared to wait(late xmas present)
Thanks for the input fellas - much appreciated
Chopper if the bumper thing comes off let me know how they are

As Retro Rods is a quick 900 KM drive from my place, I will have to wait on the report of others before placing my order. I personally would be getting painted bars with rubbers and over riders. Even if isn't the original type for my vehicle.

That wasn't retro rods, that was Tony from Muscle Car Parts I thought?

Either way, neither of them are local to me. So the rest of the statement stands. Unless they have an outlet in Melbourne.

Haha true, well I don't think anyone knew about the Repro Bumpers.
Keep us posted Hamo, and Swarbs.

I could probably drive Melb - Syd return for under $100 of fuel, so I could possibly offer a delivery service. I've done that plenty of times before.
