Body Panels From Down Under

Anybody heard of this place?

Rear hatch panel for about $100 Australian. Exchange rate makes that about $65 USD plus shipping which probably isn't too cheap.

Yeah, Rare Spares are quite good. They specialise in early model parts for aussie made cars. I've bought parts from 3 different stores in NSW and QLD and never had an issue.

You would be able to trust them as an over seas buyer and not lose sleep worrying about if they even bothered to send it or not. In saying that it's the shipping companies you would need to worry about.

I'm guessing that you could find a similar product for a cheaper price (when shipping is included) in the US, I'd be very surprised if this wasn't the case.

Thanks for the info! I've looked around and so far have found this..

but $250 US is a little more than I'd like to spend.

Banzai Motorworks ( http://www.zzxdatsun.com/) quoted me $250 even though their catalog has it listed for $110.

I'll poke around a little more. Thanks again.
