Who does the panels can't find them anywhere

Hi guys I've been restoring classic minis for about 15 years but always drove an old dub mk1 jetty gti, golf mk2 gti's etc I've just got my hands on an 84 mk1 gti rag top and can't find the panels needed anywhere to restore it I've always wanted one now I have it I can't do anything with it. I need both outer sills, both rear arch's (there the only things I can find)  n/s lower rear quarter panel,  rear valance repair panel, lower n/s inner arch repair panels,  front o/s lower wing to sill repair panel, I've got steel and can fab a lot of it but I'd prefer to do it properly can anybody help?

A few places to try, not sure on fit and quality as I've not needed to replace any panels on my car.

Or here

Or a place in germany

As you may know cabriolet sills are different from tin top cars, vw heritage do say their sills don’t fit cabriolets in the small print, they are harder to find…

You will have to start a build thread in the project section as we always like a new build thread.  :thumbs:

Try EBay , and also try Crazyquiffs . Sometimes if you can't buy a new panel you could ask for what your after to be cut of a breaker ! All best .
