Yeah that would be sick! So hard to find good fenders for scorpions...so many of them rusted out at the bottom. When I was in an accident in my old scorp a mechanic actually welded the non rusted bottom half of my damaged panel to the new panel which was rusted out at the bottom...did I good job. I took the panels off the car before it was wrecked, so I still have it!

ok maybe a dumb question but would gj fit onto a gh? obviously they wouldnt be a straight bolt on but i love the look of a gj front so if was to put a complete gj front on my scorp how hard would that be to do ie is everything a straight bolt in replacement?

a GH scorp front is basically the same as a GJ scorp front, both have the twin square head lights, only real difference would be grill.
what exactly would you like to change between a GH scorp front and a GJ scorp front??

GJ wagons are the same chassis as the GE/GH.
So the GJ front guards/bonnet/grill, etc from a wagon should bolt to a GE/GH sedan or Scorp OK.

There may some minor brackets different, etc but doable.

All scorpion guards are interchangeable. Only difference is the indicator location. Even bonnets and doors will work.

My 81 GJ has different fender indicators, than Spec-Op's GH's. Single rectangular one positioned slightly back, compared to the double square ones on te GH. So I think that could be the only difference (besides the posibility of different bolt on locations).

Also, I would love to get some fiberglass fenders, even boot-lid and bonnet if possible.
But I am in VIC, Australia. Freight cost?

The closest thing that I have seen to replacement Scorpion panels are those replacement lower rust sections offered by Rare Spares, I think?
I think that replacement fibregalss panels would be a great idea.
