MS Replacement Body Panels

Does anyone know anything about these guys: http://www.alfaparts.net/mazda.html

I just got a 1980 with major ding behind the passenger door https://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?...pictureid=4610

I know I'm going to need a source for parts for my body guy. Just need to know if anyone has any experience with alfaparts.net

Thanks!

I've asked about alfaparts, too, but haven't gotten much info.

You really only need to replace when rust is the destroyer. A body shop could probably get that spic and span for a lot cheaper than a replacement. I had an autobody teacher make a dent like that on a beater and showed us how to fix it. He had it ready for body filler in 10 minutes.

I got panels from Stephen Brooks in the UK:

Drop him a note. The damage you have may need to be repaired with a panel cut out of a wreck, but the bits around the wheel well, Stephen can help with - tho he may make custom order panels too??
