Roger, I bought a '90 Westy with seam rust-through on the drivers side along the top of the rocker panel, I bought a replacement panel from California Imports that was essentially a rocker panel plus part of the panel above. Had it installed and I was quite plaeased with the results. I got the part within a week.
