If anyone has a source for salvage parts, I need the following: front and rear right side doors for a Mazda 3 Hatchback years 2004 - 2008. They need not be Speed3, any 3 Hatch doors will fit. Could also use rear fender if cheap, but the present one can be fixed up prettty nicely. I went ahead and ordered the front fender from Mazda Speed Sports ($107!!). Not fussy about the color (s), will paint the car up pretty when body parts are done.
I will run it at Mosport as long as the suspension checks out after replacing the obvious damaged components.

Sam, go on car-parts.com. I find most of the stuff I need on there all the time. You can usually work a package deal with a yard who has everything you need (doors,suspension etc.) I'll keep my eyes open. If you have any questions don't hesitate to call me at the shop: 508-882-3488. Mark

I want to see that little red wagon in my mirrors asap! :wink:
I haven't been back long enough to unpack and I am already thinking about going to Mosport.

Sam,
Id like to get in touch with you after you found your doors. I have a friend thats been looking for a rear passenger door for about a year, but we've never found a place to get any (didnt really look that hard either).
Best of luck with you new opportunity! :D

YAY! Found both doors 18 miles from the house via car-parts.com. Actually found more than 4 or 5 of each within 100 miles or so. Boooo, no red ones, though!
Thanks for the tip Mark!
Joe - try that link, it looks very promising!

car-parts.com not auto-parts.com which is a garbage site. :D

Don't forget to call/email if you need anything Sam.

Get a shopping list together for all the parts you need.You will get a much better deal on everything from the same place.Make sure you get a power door and hopefully with a mirror and hinges as well.

Pull the frt suspension apart and look at the spindle/hub and control arms.Also look closely at the crossmember for any damage. :shock:

You may need attaching hardware as well (bolts,nut,brackets etc)

The dealer will nickel and dime you to death on that stuff.

Same in the rear.I know the upper blade is bent in the back and check the spindle as well.

I do have a spray booth :wink:
