My wife got into a fender bender and the rear passenger wheel, tire , and cladding that goes on the gas fill side was dammaged. I had a spare tire and rim but where can I buy the right rear cladding ?? Does anyone have the spare part ?? and what does it cost - I would like to do the repair my self. Thanks,
Larry

He's punting his parts as "Ironman"....They are NOT!
But he may have the cladding you need.

I didn't know you could "salvage parts" off a cash for clunkers car. Sounds a little fishy?????
Hmmm, thanx Jo. This might be a good source for Mr. Larrys to check-out. Yeah; it sounds a bit unethical to pre-strip a cash for clunker car before the main carcass officially goes to the meat grinder, but maybe some of its cosmetic donor parts can help others out.:yeso:Quote:

I've contacted 3 of our local salvage yards and they've not responded. They're suppose to be able to search for parts nationwide. I'm still lookin for a luggage rack, but there should be cladding and a lot of good stuff somewhere. P.S. we don't take parts off them prior to sending them to salvage.Quote:

I have that cladding piece if your interested
The wife was driving down the street and a 79 yr old ran into my proton - it ripped his front bumper off . Tires direct was great and is sending a replacement for the Nitto Grapplers for $25.00 - 18 inch rims are on Ebay ,
VX CRAZY - How much for the right rear quarter pannel shipped to NY (11518) and I will also try Merlin at St Charles on Tues - Thanks Everyone !!!
I bet Merlin is gonna be about 185$, I will do $100 plus actual shipping, so let me check on that since its an odd size and let you know about shipping.
Try checking on car-part.com. I was looking for drivers door cladding and found one place. Just waiting for the yard to e-mail me a picture to see the condition. If any one else has one in descent condition I rather get it through here. I could even do a trade. I have an extra custom colgan nose bra plain style.
bump!!
