July 20, 200915 yr comment_290040 Did you read the entire thread or just skip to the end? The people the initial "group buy" was supposed to be going through have the customer service skills of a hibernating bear in winter. Their contact is intermittent at best. Several people pulled out of the buy due to delays, another attempt is being made to get a whole new set of moulds made at a different place to the first one, though as yet there's nothing further in that regard. Personally I took matters into my own hands and started browsing Yahoo! Auctions Japan and using a buyer in Japan, managed to get myself a set of flares and a front spoiler for similar amounts (slightly cheaper) than it would have been for me to get them from Challenge (I'm in New Zealand so adding freight from Aus would have made Challenge a far more expensive option than getting them EMS from Japan). If you're interested in getting parts from Japan through the Yahoo! Auctions website (commonly referred to as "YAJ") then you can check out how I did it on my blog. Want to buy from YAJ? Here’s How. http://blog.retro-classics.co.nz/?p=1114 Let me know how you get on Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/29487-buying-flares-grill-etc/?&page=14#findComment-290040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 21, 200915 yr comment_290056 I think when/if ever I have any money to thow at my cars I'll just get a set from Japan. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/29487-buying-flares-grill-etc/?&page=14#findComment-290056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 28, 200915 yr comment_290589 Guys, I think I have found a guy in Melbourne (well east of Pakenham) that already does Bedford van fibreglass work and wants to branch out. He's talking of doing Holden stuff. But I contacted him about creating a set of moulds and doing a run of about 10 to 15 sets for 240K owners. And he is keen. His prices for the Bedford bits seem cheap so I'm hoping for the same for us.As we have already been talking prices here, I don't want to point him here yet. Perhaps if we can come up with a list again over the next week. I can approach him with pictures and numbers of what we want and see what he comes up with.Here is the previous list. Post your additions or subtractions after this message And I will have a chat with him in a week.khughes: Grill x1Location: Sydneysoopakarr: Grill x1Location: BrisvegasMastadd: Front Apron x1Location: MelbourneMiniMafia:Flairs x1 SetGrill x1Front Lip x1Bob Tail Spoiler x1Location: Tasmanias13drifter:Front Apron x1Bob Tail Spoiler x1Location: Canberra240K&Beyond:flares x2 setsGrill x2Bob Tail Spoiler x1Front Apron x1Location: Sydovenfood: PENDING PRICESGrill x1Flairs x1Front Apron x1Bob Tail Spoiler x1Location: BrisvegasAdzmax:GrillFlairsBob TailFront SpoilerLocation: MelbN1GTR: PENDING PRICESGrill x2Flairs x2Bob Tail x2Front Apron x2Location: SydDatstan:Grill x1Flairs x1Bob Tail x1Front Spoiler x1Location: Auckland NzRequiemk:Flairs x1Others pending PricesLocation: NzKproject:Grill x1Bob Tail x1Front Apron x1Location: S.AMr Camouflage:Grill x1Bob Tail x1Front Apron x1Location: Perth240kconvertible:Front lip x 1Grill x1Bob tail x1Of course, then we still have to problem of finding originals to make molds from. Again, perhaps the best discount can be offered to those suppling originals.
