87 Turbo Coupe door panel part (red)

Anyone know where I might be able to find the driver side panel that the arm rest cushion sits on? I am also looking for the speaker grill, door pocket and the part the door lock switch mounts to. I just purchased a 87 Turbo Coupe and apparently someone didn't know how to take the panels off and must have tried to pull them off, they broke most of the plastic mounts, pulled the door pocket off, broke the speaker grill and broke part of the trim for the door lock switch housing. This car is all original and only has 64,000 miles on it.

You may be hard pressed to find one that has faded the same color as everything else.  What I have had to do is replace the plastic tabs with metal ones.  You can peel back the rubber and put a pop rived underneath to a new metal part.  Not OEM, but actually better, as you can bend the metal to keep more pressure on the panel.
T-Birds can't fly.  Ask how I know...

Great idea, I can't find anything anywhere. I'm pretty good at fabricating. Thanks for the tip. I was worried about trying to peel back rubber.

Thanks again

I have some red 87-88 interior pieces left. I'm sure I have the speaker covers and I might still have the armrest part too.

I have a couple of the red map pockets. While the outsides are in decent shape, the inside hard plastic is all broken up.
