Does anyone know if new outer sills are available for sa22c,mk1 rex,are these the same as 2nd&3rd series,they look it.
If so any idea of cost each?
Ta stuart.

try hadrians panels http://www.perfectpanels.co.uk/

you will be lucky to find many places that have stuff for old Mazda\'s in stock, the amount of rotten ones in the past has eaten most of the UK\'s panel stock!

Perfect panels looks like only 1986 onwards, or have I not browsed properly?

[syebba]

David\'s right,only 1986 onwards.

I cant believe how poor the supply of body panels is in uk for 1st gen models.
Ive found suppliers in US & OZ that do everything from pattern panels to new genuine panels.
Front & rear valences,nose panels,windscreen panel,complete rear arches,complete front wings,but still no outer sills!!!!!
Almost everything for 1979>1985.
New wings are $220 US dollars,not that much,but shipping will hurt.
If anyone needs panels try the following
www.alfaparts in US do rear quarters & complete 1 piece rear wing repair.
rotary_products 38 in OZ do genuine mazda panels & parts,just got some brand new mk1 rear light lenses!&mazda carpet for boot.
Mazdatrix do front wings in US.
Black dragon automotive in US do front wings,front valances etc.A complete new front valance for sa22c is approx $40 dollars.

If you need rear arch panels talk to stephen at bashers panels on this site I had his sill to arch piece well formed, quick delivery and well packaged when it comes to the sill I will make my own

Where from Stuart? Any other parts available? For future reference.

[syebba]

I\'ll tell you soon enough,i need to get some spares for future & original panels are like gold dust.
So far ive found these genuine new mazda panels
Front nosecone
Front windscreen panel surround
outer side sills
Rear valence
Both doors
Bumpers 79>85
& other items..
 
Pattern parts are wings 79>85,front valence,one piece arch repair,rear quarters.
Also found new stock of rear lights again genuine mazda 79>85 inc surround seals.
Some parts are eye wateringly expensive,ie s3 bumpers,others such as rear lenses for 79 s1 arent too bad,considering mazda stopped making them 10,maybe 15 years ago.
I\'ll give details soon enough.
Still cant find pattern outer side sills though,anywhere!!
cheers stuart...:Thumbs-up

Got it, thanks Stuart. By the way I bought an identical scrap 1985 FB for £350 about 4 years back. It\'s got all the parts to ours, (in a colour match as well)!
Wings, nose bumpers, the lot. I know what you mean though, I wouldn\'t dare let any of it go whilst ever we\'re running Gus. As far as welded panel parts go, I\'m always looking out for suppliers for when the time comes.

Theres a red 1985 s3 rex just come on ebay,with restoration started,new clutch,wheel bearings & new outer sills?
Ive emailed owner to see where he got them from.
Starting bid for car is £150.
