Auto body repair & detailing/1977 Bonneville Brougham

Question
I have a 77 Bonneville that was wrecked and I'm having trouble finding the parts that I need to restore it back to its original condition. I'm trying to find the passenger quarter panel, the deck lid, and the rear bumper. Are there any car parts from other makes or models that will fit my vehichle?

Answer
I don't think so. Caprice and Buick quarters look similar, but have different body lines. I'm not sure on the trunk or bumper, but I have my doubts. These cars are prized by demo derby buffs, and parts will prove difficult at best to locate. Try ebay. Bill
