Best place to buy replacement body panels

[minichamps11]

Any recommendations for companies selling replacement body panels?

Need a set of replacement sills to weld up a '97 3dr 16V  Floor pan is also badly rusted around bungs in rear foot well (not much of a problem) but also on the outboard seam where it joins the sills (bigger problem). Thought late mk3's were fully galavanised!!??

Not sure mate so if you find a place let us know!

Could try Eurocarparts and GSF first.





Need sills myself!

Jeez! Those sills look scary! have to take off a lot more metal than I thought!
Hmmm maybe wont be doing it myself!

They tend to make them bigger than what you need, you trim back and use what you need.

+1 just cut out the rot/bent areas+ find something decent to attach the new sill to
one of my 'reinforced jacking humps' has also collapsed so i will be welding in some heavy duty, properly reinforced replacements+ add extra reinforcement to the jacking points on the sills im sick  and tired  of feeling like im destroying my car everytime i jack it up

Kinda what I was thinking, but use a length of steel angle along the bottom edge.
