Wayne they used to be made by Hurricane Fibreglass at Redcliffe but that was more than 10 years ago, you can order them from NZ where you can even buy a complete fibreglass sierra.

I rang them over 12 months ago. Person I spoke to refused to even acknowledge they used to make Suzuki panels (even though I have an LJ80 front guards and bonnet I know was bought brand new from them). All they want to do is flog off their replica Willys MB bodies to put on Suzuki chassis'

No real close up pics... Though i can take take some. Anything in particular?
I bought the vehicle as just a project truck but a fully street legal one came up for sale so i've been playing with that one instead.

So i have done nothing with the fibreglass one - Was perhaps thinking of parting the vehicle out and just keeping the cab for when my current truck rusts out
