Where can you buy sheet metal?
I need a left rear quarter panel, trunk lid and rear lights for a 124 body.
I do not want to go to the dealer any ideas?

As said, junk yard, Ebay, also Craigslist often times people are parting out cars. Also try www.car-part.com. It is a litle funky but you can sometimes find something.

I posted a place that sells them very reasonably a year or so ago but I cannot remember the name. I also did a search and came up empty. The web site was something very simple like rust.com but that is not it. I will ask my brother.
