so long story short i flipped my fd yesterday the back left wheel is bent in and the passenger side is smashed in some, the whole front end (fenders, motor, hood, front wheels) is good still. so basically what i need is a new shell and both doors and the hatch and the mirrors. Ive come to rx7club to see if any of you guys can help me, either with where to look for parts or any spare parts you guys have that you are willing to sell anything that could help. Ive done some searching already and everything i find is really really expensive, i know its an fd but the prices seem ridiculous. I love my fd with a passion and it hasnt even been a day and im so miserable without it. I need to get it back driving asap. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

There's a guy selling the shell only for like $750 in the 3gen fd3s for sale section

 

theres 2 red rear quarter panels on ebay that i saw last night...might want to check them out, not sure if thats what you need

I'm no expert but I'm going to say you are going to need a whole new car. Chances are the frame is shot. You can look in the For sale section for a Roller, and transfer all your parts over, and sell what you have remaining.
Any Pictures? I'm interested to see the extent of the damage.

 

if it hit hard enough to bend the wheel then you likely have some other underlying issues like bent frame.

this is a unibody car so there is no such thing as a replacement shell since the whole car short of the front front fenders, doors and rear hatch are PART of the frame of the car.

take it to a frame shop and see if it is salvageable before you waste money buying replacement parts for the car.

what you may need is a "ROLLER" which basically is a stripped shell. if it rolled onto the roof then stick a fork in it.

 

im pretty sure the body is still straight, for the most part its just the panels are dinged in and yeah i know its a unibody car i wasnt trying to find fenders or anything just a rolling chassis so i dont have to deal with the headache lol thats pretty much what im looking for is a roller. So i can just take my motor and tranny out and put it in the roller and thanks for all the help guys.

 

then just check the for sale sections, the best price you can usually find for a decent roller(without wheels ironically) would be about $3k. mainly because the VIN follows the body and worst case you may have back fees or fines with those cheap rollers as well as safety inspections necessary after putting it back to one piece. it is an FD after all and they still have a decent resale value so you're gonna be looking at about $5k miniumum to fix your car.

you may be better off checking the frame and getting a quote from a reputable body shop.

 

ok thanks for all the input guys, i will give a couple shops a call tomorrow and see what i can find
