Sometimes people on ebay sell the lower quarter panel off a wreck. Or, you can do like Im doing and buy a whole new body!

Timely thread. I'm looking for replacement panels too but for a 93 Geo Tracker that's sporting a set of low weight, low strength high ventilation rocker panels right now.

Being from England originally I'm used to walking into any motor factors (Auto zone, Murrays etc) and being able to buy cheap replacement panels for peanuts. Back when I was a teen/early twenties I could get new sills (Rocker pales) for my Hillman Imp for less than ₤10 ($14USD) , I remember thinking ₤15 ($21) was too much for rear wings (fenders) for my Spitfire!

So are there any online vendors that do replacement panels, preferably cheap?

I grew up messing around with Mustangs, for which you can find anything. When I needed rockers for my 89 Civic Si, I was sure that I could find a new patch panel, especially for such a common car, but that wasn't the case.

I guess "normal" people don't save rusty cars anymore.

Try sheet metal, hammer, metal snips, grinder, some pipes to bend around and a lot of patience, I did this on my first ever rust repair results on my cab corners were pretty tidy if I dpo say so myself
