have some body work to do on 2000 tib. around the wheel wells and on the bottom of the doors. for most cars and trucks you can purchase rust repair panels to make the job easier instead of shaping flat sheet metal to fit. I've been told that there is nowhere you can purchase such parts for the tiburon. anyone know of anyplace that sells rust repair panels for the tiburon.

For the doors, you'll need new ones. You might be able to find a couple at a junk yard but make sure they are from a donor car that isn't from a state that gets harsh winters or else the doors will start to rust all over.



For the rear quarter panels, there are no panels you can buy. Its best to just to cut all the cancer out, get some sheet metal, bend it to fit, weld it in, smooth it out with fiberglass, and paint

^ this. This is one of the hazards of buying a car which does not sell a gozillion copies.



You can get fenders from J.C. Whitney http://www.jcwhitney.com/replacement...d1083y1999g2j1

and the rest is why the car was called "The Panelbeater's Nightmare."



Contact a BIG local body shop and ask what they would do, if you took the car to them, and ask your local dealer if there are repair parts available through Hyundai's parts network.
