Re: 1979 panels
Where abouts are you?
Good fit And reasonable prices... new stuff, try IAP or Vicks auto,I'm not sure about reasonable prices though I thought it was expensives, but I believe any new replacement body panels are.
Try the craigslist route in your area,see if anyone is partng a car.Some on this forum might be doing the same.
Shipping will be interesting.
Good luck

cos, welcome to the site. please be sure to stop by the introductions page and tell us about yourself, your history with Fiats, and your current project car.
Where are you located? we have several forum members with spare sheet metal parts. also, IAP has a great selection of patch panels and restoration sheet metal stuff...

when you are talking sheet metal, you definitely gotta consider shipping expense as part of the total, plus the relative rarity of the part you are attempting to replace. Prices are often negotiable, especially if you can pick up the stuff and pay cash-0-la. Reasonable=a state of mind.
come spring, i will have a hood. can you wait that long and pick it up? if so, i can be VERY reasonable.

Re: 1979 panels
hi everyone, and many thanks for your help and advise. I've got a US SC2 imported in the U.K. 10-15 years ago and the panel supply in Europe is dreadfull. Spiderpoint is a good supplier but very expensive. I thought that as most 124 spiders were destined for the U.S. it may work out that there is a larger number of good suppliers that could justify the courier costs. But it doesn't seem to be the case so far.
