Default Please help : 98 Disco with body damage, I want to fix it, need some help, please...

First off this forum is great, came a few-5 yrs ago and was able to change my alternator and realize the "professional" I paid before had the belt in wrong. Basically I untapped a hidden interest in learning about/messing w cars/trucks.
Fast forward till two yrs ago and a lady ran right through a four way stop and damaged the 2 doors on the passenger side, plus front corner panel. Insurance had lapsed by 2 days and something smelled good in the car so I preferred police not be involved. So I paid her cash, parked the rover out at a unused rental property of my parents. Going to move out there soon and wanna start working on it. Does anyone know any good places to get parts for discos? Pictures coming tomorrow, the engine only has 85 k miles and I just love the car for all the high school/college memories, plus just a damn good looking body design, imo.

Thanks,

William

Sounds like you need a trip to the local u-pull-da-partz boneyard. A truck fender is like $35 and a door is $59.

Thats what I was thinking about, do you know of any places? Or is this more of a get lucky kinda deal. I'm in upstate SC and saw you were in Savannah so I thought you might know of some places. I also posted in the parts section, and Savannah Buzz if you need to pm me that's fine to. TIA

www.pullapart.com They have a network of salvage yards in the southeast, with on-line inventory. It even tells you how long the truck has been on the yard.
