matching numbers?
I have some pretty extensive body damage on the drivers side, and I got an estimate for only the rear quarter panel, planning on just replacing the door and fender. but then the guy brought up that if I replace the door, then it'll be harder to sell because the numbers wouldn't match.
is it really that big of a deal?
-
Not a big deal...it's not a '67 Shelby Cobra or even a collectible Miata. Anyone who knows Miata's will know those panels are not original to the car. New sheet metal is better than 20 lbs. of bondo IMO.

alright, thanks.
how much should i expect to spend on a door and fender?
-
I just gave $120 each for a door and fender from a guy who adv. on craiglist.
I thought it was a deal since they were the color I needed and paint can get expensive and take a lot of time.
I called Miata Heaven, and they did not have a door shell available at the time.
