Re: fibreglass panels
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!

Re: fibreglass panels
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?

Re: fibreglass panels
hi man i have got no idea lol but im sure others will .
Re: fibreglass panels
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.SpEc_OpS wrote: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?
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.

Re: fibreglass panels
All scorpion guards are interchangeable. Only difference is the indicator location. Even bonnets and doors will work.
Re: fibreglass panels
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?

Re: fibreglass panels
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.
