    Default Source for replacement panels

    Recently went off track and hit the wall at Topeka and am having a hard time finding replacement panels. The local U-Pull-It doesn't have any usable cars available and I'd hate to find out how much the body shop would charge me for the panels. I've gotten one estimate already for $1500 to get it on the frame machine and for them to graft in panels I supply them. I would do the paint to keep costs down.
    So does anybody have a link for replacement panels. So far all I've been able to see is for aircooled VW's.
    Thanks.

    I have all of this stuff.
    Usually you pull the bumper back,pound out the quarter, bondo and go race.
    Did you break the side glass?
    Send me two picks of the side of the car. MM

    The car will need to get on a frame machine to pull out the corner and also pull the front "frame arms" back straight. They appear to have been moved about 3 inches.

    Problem is you are in Fl and I'm in NE. Shipping might be a pain. I'll take a closer look and let you know. I already have a hatch, just won a tail light on e-bay and have ordered new bumper reinforcements from VW since they were only $29. A new grill was only $10 from VW too.

    Got it a long time ago when parts like that were readily available. I've owned this car since '88.
