I think repairs are becoming the only way to go with body panels, I wanted a panel, and it wasn't even big, but had to get it rebuilt. I think sills and things like that are still available because they're a safety thing. I even got excited when I saw a Hiace advertised for breaking but when I zoomed in and had a closer look it was being broken for rust, was completely rotten with half the engine missing and must've been sitting around for years in a field !
In one way these vans are going up in value so are getting harder to write off in a crash but in the other they cost more to repair.
Check out these guys they're awesome !
Or these...
Any bodyshop in the UK would run a mile if they saw you turn up with a van looking like that !
