Hello CL. Long story short : I got side swiped the other day. I have no idea where to begin looking for the parts I need. I definitely need a new driver side fender. I'm not sure about the door... if it can be fixed or if it needs to be re placed. I'm waiting for my mechanic to put it on the lift to see what kind of mecanical damages I have behind the wheel. I'm assuming my control arms are no good - I had to change the bushings anyway - but who knows - stressfull situation. I only have PIP insurance - big mistake - If you love your car get full coverage. Is there a site where I can find SC body parts at a reasonable price? Im in Broward county if anyone knows any local part stores that have what I'm looking for (driver side fender, driver side door). Any tips or advice will be greatly apreciated.

Full coverage probably wouldn't have mattered. They would have totaled your car due to age and the cost of repair.
Post a WTB ad in the classifieds for a new door, fender, 95 side skirt, and side marker. It's hard to tell but I'm not sure if you're front bumper is cracked too.

Found a decent fender and door hinge at U - Pull it; Overall spent about $65 bucks so far
I will ask the auto body proffessionals if my door and bumper can be saved. It looks like only the fender and door hinge took the beating, but who knows. I'm still waiting on the internal damage report from my mechanic

No just a get another door , it's not worth fixing hell it will cost you more trying to fix it.
Tabaka full coverage will matter , atleast he will have some $$ to buy another SC .

Yeah.. I did'nt see any doors in good condition. I figured I would at least get her driving first. Fender was an absolute must. My auto body guy is pretty reasonable. I will definitely compare the costs of fixing and replacing ( i'm working out a deal for body work and paint job). That will be my last step. I'm just worried about whats going on behind that wheel. Hopefully I will find out today. My mechanics shop is full, but he is trying to squeeze me in ( car is stting outside ). If you work in an auto shop, one that specializes in high performance, then you know how it is
