Unhappy in need of body parts

i recently purchased a 1982 Mazda rx-7,my very own first car. It has ac, moon roof, cass am/fm, and a 13b swap in it. Anyway i got the fairly cheap becuz it needs body work, Mainly both doors. I was wondering if anyone out there had some for sale or knew of a good salavage shop to get body parts from. Thanks y'all

One would think that you would be able to get some really cheap and easily from a junkyard.

Did I catch a hint o' sarcasm in there?

I'm convinced that a local junkyard is the way to go. If you seriously cannot find them within 100 miles, then I'd look elsewhere. Optimism my friend, it's all about optimism

This link will take you to a site that has body parts. Well, everything except the doors. Buy if you need hoods, fenders, trunk lids, those headlight panels, or the header panel, they got it. Its not fiberglass but this is where I'm getting my hood and header panel. I whacked two dear with my car.

Jalvord,
Where ya at in KS? I am in Topeka. I have seen three FB's sell at the police auction for ten dollars a piece. All had good doors. I also know of a parts car here in Topeka, but I am not sure he would part with the doors.
