    Some of my friends have used this freight/courier mob. Good prices and big savings if the seller can get the item to the drop off station and you can pick it up from one.

    What are the repros inner strength like... ie; if you re-skin the outer is the rest of the gate going to still flex as bad as it does with the original (thinner) skin?

    Looking at one for a WB panno long term project.

    Regards,

    Dave.

    id say theyd be just as weak as the skin, ive got a few repops that have come on or in utes, theyre all bent really badly and badly didnted, worse than the tailgate i pulled of one of my hqs after 40yrs, i reinforced the inner of mine when i rekinned it, ill try find a photo, i had to straighten it a bit so i thought stuff it might as well put something in there, i would have liked to used a bit heavier rhs but i didnt have any then

    i got mine from a bloke near hearvy bay, i can find out his name if you want

    --- Updated ---

    he does heaps or stuff, rust repair panels, louvers, i think he presses guard flutes, the skins are pressed out so he must have got a old die or made one, have a look in my build tread itd say in there

    Retro rods are 1.2mm thick outer skin. What are Holden original ones?
