I purchased some replacement panels last year from "California Imports". I
was very satisfied.

Well after foolishly letting a friend drive my van I have some body work to
do. I've known this guy for a couple years and I told him to drive it like a
big truck. So of course he still thinks he is in his little Toyota and at
the gas station as he is turning the rear end of the sliding door goes into
the cement pole, followed by the fender flare being demolished and the seem
split open. Boy was I mad, but he is my friend so I took it in stride and
luckily he has the money to get it repaired. So I asked some body guys
around town if they could fix it without bondo, and they said with new
pieces. So where is the best place to get sheet metal, cost doesn't matter
too much, as long as it is reasonable. I saw Bus Depot has a whole new rear
fender panel for $50 and they claim it is good European made. Any
suggestions?
