Panel supply/availability?

Hi guys, I'm hoping to join the E30 club, but my budget dictates I'm likely to be buying a project rather than a minter. I'm not scared of bodywork but wonder about panel availability.

Can anyone advise what's still available NOS? Or recommendations on which aftermarket panels fit best?

I notice Klokkerholm supply sills, arches, lower rear corners and rear panels. Although I don't imagine their wings fit too well? Any of you guys have experience of fitting any of these?

Does anyone know of someone with a stash of genuine OEM panels, or a supplier in Europe or similar?

What about rear quarters, or windscreen bottom corners or similar? Is anyone aware of any manufacturers who supply these sections?

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Hopefully I'll be posting a build thread if/when I find the right project.

Thanks...

There is a fair few bits still available from the main stealers! Might be worth giving them a call and see what they got or can geta‘a

Thanks for the speedy response!

Will do that, I assumed dealer supply would be a thing of the past!

What about the Klokkerholm repair sections?

Anyone used these and can comment on the fit?

I've Berber bought any panels off them for the e30 but I have for my corolla and civic :mad: (don't judge me)

Very good fit but a lot thinner than the metal I cut off the car!
