Does anyone know of anyone in the UK producing rigid (maybe GRP) front and rear panels for a 3rd gen body? The rear bumper on mine needs an overhaul as it is so flexible that the paint has all cracked and it is also fading  Would also like to replace the front end with something a little more solid

The rear bumber is naturally flexible on the camaro because it had to comply with impact regulations and chevrolet wanted to keep the lines as clean as possible. Get it repainted by Mo or someone who knows their salt because they'll use a plasticiser in the paint which will allow it to be flexible. Panels are available in England. Try Dave Eady at Eady's Autos.01536 722384 He keeps some but if he hasn't got them, he can get you some. BTW I have a spare set of T-tops if you're interested.

Mine are glass. One is missing the seam rubber and plastic shroud but its an easy job to switch them over. I'm not going to Billing but I do live near there. If you're interested PM me and make us an offer!

If you want the rear bumper sorting give us a shout, if you go with fibreglass you will regret it as it looks worse after a while, All you will need to do is re-paint it properly.
