Is there any where that sells good quality replacement fenders, q-panels, sills, rockers, inner fenders, floor pans, etc. for 80's and 90's Japanese cars? I've got my eye on a few different cars that some various friends own (NA Miata, Honda EF hatchback, TE7X Corolla, Starlet, etc.) that are basically going to be free to me, but they all have some body rust that I'd like to repair if I end up taking stewardship of them. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I've always cut up old filing cabinets for the job, but I don't think that is the answer you are looking for.
I did a fender from Auto Body Panels for my 85 RX-7. Fit was fine, and it seemed okay. Bonus points for it being in stock local to me so I didn't have to pay any shipping or trust it to a carrier.
After restoring Mustangs a while back (for which almost everything is available), I was always a little shocked that nobody started stamping out replacement sheet metal for Japanese cars. At least Civics and CRXs.

You mean like these?

Edit: They make FG and CF panels. The metal ones are factory pieces.
I have fenders from Certifit on my Eclipse. They fit very well. http://www.certifit.com/Default.aspx?

Are there any patch panels for mid-80 Toyota trucks and 4Runners? I imagine the first outfit to do this will make millions as they all rot in the same place.
A company called Wolf Steel (I think they started in the Alfa resto business) makes a little bit of stuff for Toyotas, mainly pickups, but also some Celica/Corolla/MR2. I've never used them, don't know much more about them other than they exist.

Cool! This is exactly what I was talking about.

"Everywhere?" 
Correct.
