Hello to all.

I am trying to find parts in adelaide for my 1995 GPX FTO. The parts I need are:
LHS Door
LHS Quarter Panel
LHS Skirt

If anyone knows of a good wrecker for the above (the ones I have spoken to so far are not much off new price) or any other way to get these parts at a reasonable price and reasonably quickly please let me know.

I'd owned my car for a week and a half, absolutely love it, then a lady runs a red light and does this to my pride and joy:

(Hope the pic worked says the newbie)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Dumb question here, but if the accident was her fault why are you sourcing the parts, surely the panel beater will do that and charge her insurance co. (sorry I've kinda hijacked this)
:D

Wasn't she insured? Even if she wasn't, she's at fault, and that's a good deal over $1000 damage. Take the bitch to court, buy new parts from misti, have them sprayed at a top quality place.

edit: this ends soon, but you save a good 250bux, and it's tip top quality

She's claiming the ligt was yellow. I've got no witnesses, no red light camera, nothing (first accident since I was 18, no idea what to do, in shock from what she'd done to my car, didn't grab someone as a witness). My word VS hers. Most legal types i've spoken to so far say word VS word kinda cancels out, I'm in give way position, most of blame rests on me.

Insurance- another long story (didn't want to bog the forum down with needless info) but short version
marraige separation ->finances frozen->delay->didn't know about covernotes ->accident monday -> finances cleared tuesday.

Bad luck loves company

Scarecrow- Yes, I am after rear quarter panel LHS, but cheers for knowing that one (Fronts the only LHS panel still OK)

Kazbah- thanx for the welcome.

The support for members from members of this site continues to amaze me.

Thank you to all who have submitted places to try for these parts. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Panel house have given me a quote that puts the local guys here in Adelaide to shame, and being that they support the site so much I will be looking to do business with them.

To Mark from Panel House, you have managed to return a smile to my face. I would recomend any members looking for quotes on this type of thing to contact them- the quote was that good!

Looking forward to a smooth transaction with them, I will post feedback on the situation at a later stage.

Once again thank you to all who continue to support the members on this forum. Your input is appreciated.
