where for panels to restore a CF ?

Hello all,
I am about to start a new contract restoration of a CF jumbo here at a classic car firm here in NZ. The body work needs a fair amount of rust removed and I am wondering where a good place to get repairs panels might be. II understand from having read through a few threads on here that CF panels are not exactly easy to come by but hey anything might be of use. My work has a connection who gets stuff shipped monthly from the UK so we can get stuff over to NZ if it works out cheaper/easier/neater than making a new panel.
If any Kiwis on here can help with locally sourced panels that would be great!

This project will be an interesting one for me. Its to be fully restored but with a complet make over mechanically. It'll be getting a modern 4 litre injected straight 6 from a Ford falcon along with the whole loom, aircon, front crossmember, suspension, abs etc etc There will be much headscratching...

I'll start a thread for your interest on here if I get the owners permission. And I'll post up a introduction as I'm sure I'll be on here plenty over the next few months (or years..)

Cheers
alex

That said, Smith and Deakin could help if you want to consider Fibreglass:

Have a Look at BUGA (http://www.buga.com.au/)
they are much closer to you and could probably have someone down under

Yep will do. But I think I will run out of posts? Can I keep posting in public section on the message board even if I am not a member?
