Panels and parts

[Hiluxonian]

Can anyone recommend a vendor who has panels for my trucks will start renovating my BJ41 first need the rear panels both sides and 2 bonnets and at least one fender. Sor don't seem to have them in stock, I've found a place in Germany that does them just not keen on price.

Will venture into a toyota dealer but if there fj prices are anything like their hilux prices its a no go.

Also will need shipping to England

Thanks

It's for my 45 got 2 trucks just thought if I was going to the cost of importing 1 I ought to get what I need in one go

You are probably best off sourcing your parts out of Australia it would be cheaper for you,the cost from the States or Canada would be very costly. Depending on how bad your rear fenders are a good body man can fab out some sheet metal, as for the bonnets they can be patched depending how bad they are I just did finished one, it came out pretty good but was alot of work to form the corners and the rounded edges. Fenders are fairly cheap lots of reproduction fenders out there,once again easily can cut and patched,check with your local body shops first. Cheers
I assume your Cruisers are RHD if so the drivers side fender if you purchace from North America you will have to modify the inside of the fender tofit over the steering box.

£ vrs Euro and $ is making things really silly right now.

I have some notes on a French source for fibreglass parts, will see if I can find it.

Link to French site, don't know if they are still operation, never dealt with them. All in one front would save some time, don't know if it would pass MOT? or would they car, worth checking it's OK with the insurance, worst case they might just exclude it from cover?

Picture I found somewhere a while back attached. I would like the all in one front if it had a groove so it looked more like there was a seperate hood.
