i wrecked my 1989 rx7 gtu and basically the whole front end needs replaced.

does anyone know where i could find parts for my car at?

i live in IN and apparently is pretty hard to get parts for an rx7 around here.

It'll buff out...

You can start checking for parts in your local junkyards, the for sale section of the forum, and ebay if you're really desperate.

bummer looks like you ran into a the back of a truck, you could upgrade to a bodykit from shine auto (instead of the stock bumper/fender/hood)

there is an 87 gxl for 500 bucks arround here. Im not sure if it has a tittle but for what the guy told me he rebuilt the engine and then the tranny took a dump. Im sure it would make a good donor car. pm me and let me know if youre interested so i can try to put you in contact with the guy.

LAME! that sucks so much.

did you get any important motor bits smashed up or is it just a body work thing?

Check the FS section... they should have something. If not, post a WTB thread

I have an black NA hood for sale if you need it.

if it runs and drive, remove the hood and dented panels and get a body kit. Easy lazy fix. Of if you can un-dent the panels, put a widebody kit on it... if they make one.

all it need is some touch up paint!

you could get part of a JDM front clip..that comes with bumper radiator support fenders and hood..well sometimes the hood doesn't come with it...their like 350 or so ..i think they have one on ebay...but good luck with that...u should check a body shop that does the frame work too.

You're lucky man. That all looks replaceable. The only really bad part will be frame damage, if there is any.

Yeah, try a junkyard. Aftermarket stuff is thin metal and new stuff is way too expensive. After that leave it as-is. If there's any rust, sand it off and prime it with cheap primer, then sand smooth if you want. If you can only find pieces with some dents, hunt down a slapper (curved metal thing, "slaps" b/c it's wide) and hit until it's nearly flat, within 1/8" of perfect. Very easy and doesn't take much precision if you use a slapper instead of a hammer. Sand off the paint on & near the dent, bondo and sand to get it totally flat. Then prime it. For any painting beyond that, most people are best off going to a body shop. Unless you want to make a huge project out of it.

All of that is replaceable, have you seen what I did to my T2 to get it back on the road after I wrecked?
