Not sure if I'm using the wrong search terms here and on google, I'm looking for the spot welded fox body subframe parts behind the fenders. I see plenty o pics of rusty ones removed, new ones welded in. Where can I get new ones? I attached a pic , I can see all the individual panels spot welded together. The car I'm working on has door pillars, floor pans, and shock towers rotten.
Thanks

I think the term you're looking for is [Fender Apron].

Have you looked at LMR and CJ and Summit?

I haven’t looked for awhile for the parts. There weren’t any before, might be now.

The hinge pillar is also called the a-pillar or just door hinge pillar. Try those searches.

All I’m sure of is the subframe rails being made. Salvage may be the way you have to go.

I have but wasn't sure what they were called.
I still have Menards salvage number, hope he's still in business.

Picked it up today. 10 years ago I would have passed on this car because of the rust. Getting harder to find cheap original condition. It's all original except for the wheels, bbk air filter, and rear lenses. These two kids on youtube called the goonzsquad return new smashed cars back to new factory condition. I feel like I have half assed all my previous repairs watching them, well I did. They repaired a '17 GT, impressive. I feel now I must put in that level of effort.
