cubastreet Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 On my way home today I was going up a narrow winding hill, a woman was coming down too fast in her people mover. She slammed on the anchors, slid kinda sideways and totalled my front fender and door. If anyone in NZ knows where I can get a driver's fender and door please let me know; there's a bit of a dent behind the door which could be fixed but the other parts are totalled.

keltik Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I think tradme is your best bet mate. I dont think any NZ dealership is gonna have panels for an 81. If wagon doors will fit i know theres a couple of parts cars on trademe. Good Luck! KELTIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubastreet Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Yeah cheerz I've been keeping an eye on trademe since I got the ute at christmas but gen 1s are pretty few and far between. There's nothing older than about '85 in the scrapyards around wgtn either. I think most of them rusted away a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hey!! We don't want to hear that!! We thought you Kiwis had plenty of older Subies....maybe on the other island? So anyhow,if you guys really need a hand and want to cover shipping I'm sure one of us will help you out.I've got extra Gen I fenders and there's plenty of hoods around too. Some of us here are hungry for early 70's parts.GSR's wanted! Or even the dual carby set-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubastreet Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Thanks for the offer, hopefully I'll be able to find something a little closer though. There are loads of gen 2s in NZ very cheap but I think most of the gen 1s are right down south. Here's a pic of the damage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Ouch!:-\ Good luck with it.Let me know if you need something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waimaks Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Oh damn. Thats a story for a really really bad dream. I understand your pain. Poor lil brumby. I really hope you can find some parts. The 1st gen cars really seem to be non egsistant. There may be some down south. But mine is the first gen 1 Subaru I've seen. And we brought it from down there..... I'll keep (even more of) an eye out for some for ya. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
