body parts

Does anybody know where I can find rear quarter panels for a first gen. rx7. Steel or fiberglass, it doesn't matter

The rear q-panels aren't replaceable on an RX-7, as the car is a unibody design... the whole rear end is one piece all welded together, so unless you're willing to find a donor vehicle, chop the rear end off of it, chop the rear end off of your car, and weld the new/used pieces on, then fill, sand, prime, and paint it, I would suggest looking for a new car if it's damaged enough to need replacing.

You can buy separate panels, intended for body repair, that weld in after the old ones are cut out, without having to buy a donor vehicle. If Mazdatrix doesn't have 'em in stock try asking your local auto body shop.

Yeah, good point, I've just never actually seen replacement rear q-panels?

When I restored my Z-car they had replacement anything - pretty much any stamping or portion of stamping is available, if you know where to look
