Hi Tony,

I don't think anyone is ignoring you, I just don't think anyone has one!

Cheers,

Dave

the PR91 fronts are rare enough (dave will comfirm that!!), and the PR90 is practicly impossible.
after all, only 55 were imported here when new, so they were very rare back then!!

i know of a guy down here that has a PR90 that he bought years and years ago, that was missing the LH headlight surround.
it took him the best part of 10 YEARS to find one... and that was just 1 surround, not a whole front...

anyway, good luck tony!!
i'll keep my ear to the ground down here for you.

Does anyone speak/type or know anyone in Japan? We really need to be looking back to the Bellett homeland for these parts now...

I've got a contact I met thru eBay who is an Adelaide boy who lives over there. I don't know how much rooting around he's prepared to do though as he has a job and already does some JDM eBay stuff as a hobby I guess.

I have asked him about tail lights etc in the past.... PR90 stuff is probably the hardest to get as it's the oldest. But there's no harm in asking...

I'll send him a msg when I get the chance.

I have got one used PR90 grill somewhere. Don´t remember the condition but I can look and put a photo of it here. Our club also had one new grill but it was sold in early 90´s if I remember right. It went to 4d Bellett. Only 3 PR90 GT:s were imported to Finland (and 15 PR91). Two are missing but I made some kind of GTR clone from the third one. So I think no-one here needs that grill.

When I was the president of out club I ordered parts from Isuzu Motors Limited about 20 years from the early 80´s. They were always very helpful. It took sometimes months to get the part but if they had promised to send it, they found and sent it. If they didn´t have it they asked from the dealers to get the parts. But you had to be very careful with them. If they say that they will get the part they get the part to you. When you have waited months, don´t ask were are my parts...just wait.. Also a lot of presents were sent to each other. With the e-mail and internet and e-bay everything is so easy nowadays. When I started to buy parts from foreign countries in the early 80´s I had to write letters to Japan and hope that someone gets reads it. And then wait....and wait...to get an answer...and then send a letter again.. Now it´s quite easy to find parts from the internet and get f.ex exotic engines. Today the globe is so small. But Isuzu owners have always been very helpful.
