Where to find local body panels? (Vancouver)
 

Dinged the door on my 81 chevy pretty badly yesterday... A little beyond repair. All of the second hand panels I've found are rusted badly.

So I figured I'd get a new passenger side door, seeing as I need a new paint job anyway. I need a couple other pieces too like the piece underneath the drivers side door.
I've seen plenty door panels online for about 200, but they are all in far away lands in the states.

Does anyone know where I can pick up a newly furbished door panel in the B.C. lower mainland? Or Seattle? I live in Surrey, right by the border, so I could take a trip down there.

Thanks in advance! I've been stressing none stop since I hurt her.

Hey, I used to live in Langley, so I hear ya. The shipping on doors from the states is murder. I bought rust free originals off craigslist, but of course, I had to watch the listings for quite a period.

Of course you've looked here!

I found that website shortly after this post! I'm thinking of buying that door panel. I guess I might need a body repair shop for the rest of the damage. I will post a couple pictures when I get off work and maybe you guys can give me some advice.
Thanks again

So as you can see there's a pretty decent chunk gouged in on the small panel behind the door, and a long scratch/dent along the bed panel. I sent this picture to a local body shop and they quoted me 2000 :0
I'm thinking if I buy a new door panel and maybe get the work done at Vancouver community college, it might save me a few bucks.
I've got the gas cover in my truck unscathed it just needs to be epoxied on.
Suggestions?

Have you even been to KMS?
Just a tour?
Lots of nice sheet metal upstairs!
Drop the wife off at Ikea and go over. Right next door.

www.crosscanadaparts.com has a much larger selection of repair/replacement panels than KMS, and they have a warehouse in Burnaby as well as in other provinces from which they can fulfill orders.
