Default Banged up C5

Have a 2000 C5 that got banged-up in a lane change accident. Drivers side door, rear qtr panel, drivers mirror, rocker panel, etc.

Anyone have a line on inexpensive replacement parts?

Check the for sale section for part outs. There seems to be quite a few options on there.

Lucky for you, driver's side and rear parts are fairly common, I'd check the Classifieds here for part-outs as well as that auction site. There's a website that searches junkyards nationwide as well, but I don't think I can post their name as they're not a site sponsor.

Tip: Since these parts are fairly common used/undamaged, you should be able to find them in the right color to avoid any paintwork

that sux

good luck

the rocker panel is going to be the problem...they are held on with an epoxy like glue and require special tooling to get them on and off.

on line search for Vette salvage..there are plenty of sources
