Contacted Them And Black Dragon Automotive Yesterday.



Waiting on replies still. And price don't matter as long as I get the parts I need.



This car is a ******* money pit. Ive contacted ernest from rx7world.com.



He has alot of interior parts for me but no panels an such.



Told me to swap my TII into a different body. I said hell no...



I want to save a seven!

mazdatrix? contact them by phone as they have tons more stuff then is on their website, or find the link for their full price sheet and scroll through there, they list everything they have there but its a simple like notepad document of 10's of thousands of parts.

all that stuff has to come from mazda, theres no point in looking anywhere else.



the floor pan isnt available, and when it was you'd be looking at $1500 peice of steel.



rockers are available, and not too badly priced



i got the last left rear quarter panel, i dont know about the inner quarter panels



the cost to properly restore a good running rust free t2 is upwards of 20k, starting with a rusty car only puts you further behind.

I would be willing to pay that if it were available.



Cost of 20k huh.....

Yes. I was one of Menlo Mazda's top parts customers for something like 2 quarters. I can't remember what the total ended up being, but it was crazy. And that was replacing ZERO body panels, just all the stuff around it.
