#1 Reproduction panel quality?
Bluewagon Posted on: 2014/10/21 6:52
I am seeing on ebay reproduction datsun 1200 panels.
Has anyone used them and what's the fit like?
Also I am wondering if the rear bumper on a wagon is the same as a sedan?
Thanks

The panels are not as good as the originals. Although being cheap, new and ready for paint is hard to argue with. I am told the primer they come in is not good also.

Repro Panels 2

I haven't personally used them, but I have compared the repos on someone else's 1200 to my 1200 with originals. The repos were noticeably thinner, and able to be flexed quite easily by pushing on them.

I suppose you get what you pay for though, but they are quite cheap.

+1 Also, If they are the chung fu chin brand they need a bit of work where the panel meets the wiper/sill panel as the radii are different. (on the coupe anyhow) They are far from perfect but a half decent bodyshop will make them look good Fairly easy. I found that being a bit thinner helped me roll the guards easier!.
