im gonna drop into mark gibbs panel house tomorrow before i leave brisbane. and grab a couple of guards. ill be sure to post with how they fit.

well jkratso definitely isnt getting my buisness unless im super desperate.

there is a guy bout 1.5 hour drive or so from me i think hes called phils rotarys or something has anyone bought stuff from this guy?

I've found that some aftermarket panels fit better than others and the preference is always to buy original datsun panels if you can find them.

But, my understanding was that their is only one aftermarket manufacturer of Datsun 1200 panels and they are a Taiwanese
company. Can anyone confirm this because if it's true then either their dyes are gradually getting out of wack or the quality depends on whoevers pumping them out that day!! Neither of which can be controlled by the people selling them...(although a few complaints might help them tighten up their quality control).

If someone can advise that there are different companies producing parts it would be nice to establish which company produces the best quality panels!

i got all my panels off ebay and we had 2 more some folds because some of them were in the wrong spot and it was just alot of work just to get a new panel to fit
but they fit now and they dont have rust like my old panels

i would also like to know where i can get my hands on some decent ute doors without 6 to 8 random holes drilled around the mirror mounting area lol the doors on my white ute are shytehouse plus the internals dont work properly.

for ute champ, u got any drivers side doors that are orignal nissan items ? that ant boged up and dont have rust?

Do you mean jkratso ? there stuff is crap i messaged them about stuff i got like chrome eyebrow moulds and front bumper and the linishing marks in them were real bad. They refused to help us e.g refund on return or replacement and just said we will mention it to our supplier. There are some good sellers on ebay to say dont buy off ebay is kind of saying its ebays fault. Really just ask around about sellers most people here can give advice on who to deal with on ebay or around the traps. Just out of curiosity what was the door for ? There is an abundance of real good doors for ute,sedan and wagon front doors around, as there all the same in my opinion no need to go new. Unless its coupe ones but i doubt there available.

try reading this thred

where do u buy the taiwanese panels ?

true but hay where else do u buy things that are hard to get ? like a datsun door ?
