For flares and front spoiler shown in the link below you can try Fibreglass Auto Replacements who are in Gisborne.

However, I have found their layup quality is not always the best in the past and in the last set of flares I got from them the rear left-hand side was noticeable different than the original plastic item, but the others where a close match. In the photos below the blue is the same as the original while the white is as supplied by FAR.

For parts you could try Speedyrr who is on http://classiccolt.forumcircle.com/portal.php and is also in Taranaki (He can be difficult to get hold of at times).

The original molded door rubbers are very difficult to come by, but you may be able to get some from Aust. as the GC and GD galant coupe used the same door. Some of the parts are still available from Mitsubishi.

Good luck with the project.

welcome to another gto owner 8)

hey saw you on retro-rides too! did you see the threads on the REALLY rusty uk gto's? :shock:

great to see you doing it right. these cars are so cool, but rust seems to be the norm (except for the rare few that are out there)

you might wanna post over at sigma-galant too as the seem to LOVE gto's :D

that's me posting a comment, but not my gold gto though

funny, seems like we only got 10 gto owners on any of the forums

the rest of them hiding out at various "undisclosed locations" in nz :salute:

check out sigma-galant, but they don't know gto's all that ell
