You could ask here. Someone may have a spare of what you're after.

What parts are really looking for. Second hand are best of sought here, but repair sections from overseas. Best sites to look at from overseas aside from businesses are EBay Germany and England but you must search them not hope that EBay AU finds it for you. Then places like Trade Me NZ and South African searches as well. Be careful of import costs and fraudsters as well as customs here. I don't know anyone here that makes panels, repair sections etc as we all seem to want more money than their worth which is half the problem with our beloved country. If I can help I will but if you want perfection in used parts after 45+ years it doesn't come around very often. Keith

well i been welding and grinding all day doing what i can untill i need the parts
was going to replace a quater panel but looks like thats to hard to come by seconhand unless i buy another roller,
i probably can get away with repairing it..
i am mainly after a L/H front fender
and a back panel where the lights go ...somebody has cut it trying to fit those terrible looking datsun lights or some kind of bigger lights
think all the good shell's rust free are all v8's
probably should of just brought a v8 roller...
cheers

Look the car cost me $300 from Dubbo and then I cut it up( bit burnt from grinding but you probably feel the same way). Let's say $650 for a L/h fender rear quarter with back back panel and the quarter pieces for the rear quarters. They are not perfect but usable if you wish. If you want the rest of the car they came from you can have it for free.

while looking at the rear back panel beaver panel etc i noticed that my gt one is different to the 4cyl model's.
gt has few extra factory holes inside of it on the top support and the hole underneath the latch is different size as well.. still fits and im trying to leave original top bit there ..instead of removing the whole panel..
