Donor vehicle?
I have a donor car with good floors, trunk floors, and a good quarter panel,(which my car needs work in all those area's) is it better to use new repo parts, or just cut out the good parts off the parts car?

Cutting and cleaning donor parts can be more work but is still better than using the repo. junk that is out there IMO.

Solid, used OEM sheet metal will always fit better than repro. Be sure to separate the parts at the factory seams and spot welds.
