Default Restoring wrecked passenger side on my SC300. NEED HELP LOCATING PARTS!!!!

I bought my 1995 lexus sc300 hit on the pass side. i only paid 1000 for the car running and driving. drove it 50 miles home and put about 1000 miles on it since so no problems mechanicly. the problem is im sure some of you know that having a body shop repair this car is EXPENSIVE... lucky for me my friend works at a body shop and has access to all the tools and knows how to fix it. He will do it for free as long as i have the parts. I have a new pass side door. I need a quarter panel yet and rear bumper... BUT!!!! my main problem is it smashed the door jamb up pretty good. the door still closes and latches. Ive heard that sometimes when u order a used quarter panel they pretty much cut 1/4 of the car and send it to u so the door jamb would come with it. Yet no place that i have found says anything about what all comes with the quarter panel. does anyone know about this or am i just kinda up dump creek with no paddles on this sittuation. im not gonna sell the car to buy another SC bc they are pretty exspensive around here. If I can get a door jamb seprate im just going to put a wide body kit on to cover the quarter panel....anyone PLEASE HELP!
