Hi all, my post here so first of all, thanks for including me in your sickness....I mean S600 bug.
Unfortunately my boot lid is looking like more like a sheet of corrugated iron than a boot lid, and a little rusty as well, so does anyone here have a good one that they would be prepared to sell or swap for something I have that they may need for their S600?
I have a fair few carbies etc (no full sets unless there is enough to make a full set but I doubt it) spare tail shaft, inlet manifolds etc. If there is something you want in exchange just ask and I will have a look to see if I have it.
Regards, Tony Brown

I should mention that it is a roadster!

 

There is a mob in Melbourne who make fiberglass copies. They are quite good. I currently cannot remember the name of the company. But maybe an internet search could help.

 

Thanks guys, I know its a long shot but if I can, I would prefer an original steel one if possible
That may not be feasible, in which case the fibreglass one may be the best solution.

Can assist with bidding if interested.

 

At \9500 now, I would suggest any roadster restorer buy now. Either that, or a whole car for merely twice the price of NOS boot lids on Yafuoku too:

Neko.

 

I would think this lid will go for about 70,000 yen, approx 700 Au. If less, it is an excellent buying opportunity.

 

Sold for 23,500円... Lucky I drive a Coupe! Neko.

 

Wow, that is so cheap.
A buyers premium and postage from Japan would have seen the final price around Au 400.

 

Well that certainly was cheap, my greatest fear in buying panels is the risk of damage in transit, more at our end than anywhere, where fragile means "throw underarm".
Has anyone else had success/failure with buying panels from overseas?
