Im Having Trouble Finding Rocker Panels, Floor Pans, Wheel Arch Panels Etc...
Anyone Know Of Some Good Part Sources? I Don't Wanna Have To Start Cliping Cars.

victoria british might have some rare parts, but its pretty expensive
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!

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.

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.
