Where in Aus can I get a Wizdom front bar?

Postby PSI-JET » Sun Aug 12, 2007 8:28 pm

Does anyone in Aus sell the Wizdom front bar? Carmate have the MD style front bar which is close but not quite what I'm after.

If anyone can help that would be great.

A member of this forum in Perth had a 1993 with a full Wizdom body kit. You might be able to contact him and see where he got it?

It might help if I provided more details on the other forum member.

Thanks dude :)

I've PM'd him which was a hassle for some reason the tab didn't work. Anyways I'm still keen to hear from anyone else that may know where I can get my hands on a Wizdom front bar.

Rods car is up and running again making good power from a NA8 with catback pod and wolf.

I don't think he's keen to sell it given all the attention it receives.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

if you don't mind shipping from NZ, Don at Autoway can get them (actually from a mold taken from a Garage Vary kit). $400-ish NZ for each end.

You should know that some surgery is required to get them to fit though. ie - I have a big pile of plastic, screws etc that got removed for this. Also the panelbeaters told me that the nose angle wasnt quite right and needed some building up.
