Sourcing body panels and interiors for 2660 Sprint

I'm about to start the restoration of a 2600 Sprint that I bought on Ebay a couple of months ago. The mechanical bits and pieces seem to be in pretty good order, but it will need to have the body and interior refurbished, particularly the rockers and the lower edges of the doors. To my amazement and relief the rest of the car is pretty much rust free. I think I got lucky with this one.

This group previously provided some much appreciated advice on finding mechanical parts, however any suggestions on sourcing body parts and suppliers of carpets and seat upholstery kits would also be helpful.

Thanks again for all your help in the past. I'm looking forward to posting photos of the project as we go along. Richard

Here in Europe you have at least Eric Van Cauwenbergh in Belgium, and Biondi Lamierati in Italy.

if you're in the US it most likely will be cheaper to have a competent body shop fabricate rockers and repair the skins on the doors.... (what with the exchange rate and shipping costs from Europe.)

I had a body shop do the rockers on my 2600 spider.....cannot tell from original
