Reproduction parts

[Absinth]

Some parts are good, some are not so good and some... like the decal above ... are crap.... Overall most are definately better than nothing at all.

Many seem to complain about poor fitting..... I find this amusing as we are talking about 30+ year old cars here that have been pranged, driven hard over poor roads and generally well used.... even genuine Nos GMH parts fit poorly on most of these cars and need some tweaking.

In 83 I bought a new floor pan from Holden to replace the rusted out one in my 72 HQ tonner... I had to trim here and hammer there to get it to fit properly.

In 99 I re-built my HJ ute using a HX donor ute.... try as I might I could not get the complete GTS dash out of the HJ to fit properly and all line up in the HX...... I also had to cut and modify the rear tail light section to get the tailgate to fit properly....

Making parts fit correctly is all part of restoring an old car......
