Default Replacing inner wing

Got into an accident over the weekend. Front side side got smashed in so looking for some replacement parts online. Found almost everything I need I think but can't seem to find the right side inner wing. That got crushed as well. Anyone know any online sites to get one at. I've tried searching on Google and have checked eBay. Have checked a few junk yards here by me in Newark nj but nothing. Any help would be great.

Sorry to hear about the accident. The part # you need is ALR9842. Rovers North lists the other side(ALR9841) so you might want to call them. But unless you can find a use one (keep looking!!!) it's going to be expensive to get it across The Pond > https://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-ALR9842 Good Luck!

thatts a bummer
do you have it dissasembled yet?
take some pics of the top rail of the wing and the A pillar.

is the steering affected since the accident?

it may make more sense to have the wing repaired instead of replaced. And if the A piller or firewall is affected you may want to have that pulled before the wing is removed.

A freind with body work exp would be a good asset for this.

I just took a look at the three DI's I have in the yard currently and all of them are suffering from rust issues otherwise I could cut out whatever you needed to fix your truck. I am expecting another DI in over the next couple of days. If it turns out to be in good shape I'll post up.

Thanks for the help guys. I popped the hood to take a second look and take more pics. I'm a newbie when it comes to discos. The steering is fine and the car runs as if nothing happened. Looking at the inner wing for the most part is pretty good just the front where the new headlight would go is pushed in. Hopefully it can just be fixed and not need to replace the whole piece.

Not to add to your parts shopping list or pain, but remember to order a new coolant expansion tank (PCF101590) and tank cap ( NTC7161 ). The tank seam looks like it's leaking.
And whiskey is right have a go at fixing it. I've repaired metal is worse shape and face it you can't F it up more. I would only add one thing to his list ( Nothing a clamp, come-along, dolly and hammer cant fix.)........ TEQUILA!!!

Radiator bleed screw also looks like it's leaking.

If you are going to mess with the radiator fill plug, have a brass replacement with a copper crush ring ready to replace it. Those plastic plugs are prone to disintegrating and falling into the radiator when you try to take them out. BE VERY CAREFUL/GENTLE.
