Looking for panels and other bits & pieces for 86 MB
Don't get hopes too high, our chosen toys are getting long in the tooth & didn't sell high numbers therefore parts demand is usually beyond supply & condition is more often than not below perfect.
If you're looking for a tray floor - best option is to drill the spot welds & remove the old floor with care to not bend it too much & use it as a template for a 2mm checker-plate sheet.
May have more success obtaining panels offshore as other members have, [search] should reveal links to suppliers sites in past posts.

So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..
Always welcome. Persistence,patience & creativity will get you around otherwise debilitating lack of supply. Skills from times gone by are slowly being resurrected for the restoration of even older cars - complete vehicle bodies can be worked up from flat sheet stock by competent metal shapers. Other parts (equivalent or substitute) might be found on a more popular model. Keep an eye on magazines in the restoration/hot-rodding genres for ideas/sources as well as this forum...gems do surface at times.

one of your problems is the time and effort to remove a tray by drilling the welds etc., it can take hours. and there is the under chassis to deal with as well.
I just threw a good rear down the tip because I couldn't be bothered removing the tray, and before you go off at me I would say well, what would you pay for it? probably you would want it for $30 or $40 . not much reward for the effort involved. and that would be what any wrecker would be thinking, he would probably want $100.
you could just oxy the whole lot out but then there is the cost of gas and you would not get a clean cutout. a lot of work to get it right to fit your car.

Hey mate,
I have a front bumper here from a mighty boy I'm stripping. It's not perfect, but it's good for it's age. If you have not found one yet, shoot me a pm. I'm in melb and we might be able to work something out.
Cheers
