PA Good places to find parts?

I'm looking for parts for my 1980, I need some interior parts and exterior parts. mostly trying to make the car look nice before I do any performance stuff. Where should i look for the biggest selection for these parts. I know about racing beat and mazdatrix. perferably online but if its close to the PA area that would be nice too. other than Rhineharts.

You can't get 99% of the interior bits new any longer. You can get carpet, dash cover, and replacement seat fabric after-market, but the rest of the trim/interior will need to be used.

You can place a want-to-buy ad in the Market Place: https://www.rx7club.com/market/

Places like Rhineharts, Riggs and guys parting out cars are the only sources for many parts. There just isn't much aftermarket reproduction parts or support available for Rx-7's. We are left picking through the bones of other, less fortunate cars. There is a market place section of the forums here, or Face Book or even eBay. As KC said, place a parts wanted ad.

The 1980 cars used a few one year only parts, which can make things even more challenging. It pays to be knowlegable on what you are looking for as 90% of sellers out there will just lump all 1st gen stuff together.
