With the trueno, it's pretty tough..
Australian wreckers only stock what they are given from japan. Because truenos were not sold in Australia, japan does not supply australia with sprinter trueno parts. simple as that.
To import part by part is very costly, because it's like shipping BIG individual parcels through the post and freighting. Also, a complete front takes a lot of time and shopping in japan.
With regards to the average cost of a fully dressed front cut...
I've been quoted 3.5 to 4k.
with a 3-6 month wait.
shipping should only be about 1k(from of the price quoted) I think.. but most of the cost is incurred because these are VERY popular in japan (japanese people smash their trueno's all the time whilst drifting). The supply of these things are also scarce (they didn't sell to many when it was new)..
that said, it is no wonder that there is a 3-6+ wait on one. I gurantee you, there is no on the shelf stock for these things. As I've said before, if these panels were cheap and readily available, A LOT more sprinters on the road would be truenos.
rock on.
