Rocker panel replacement
The left rocker panel on my -87 Carrera has some dents in it, may be the result of driving up over a high pavement. The oil hoses are a bit scratched too, so I will replace them as well.
It may be a better option to have the old panel straighten out, but I don't want to have a shop just fill it up with Bondo. Better may be to handle them a fresh panel and have them replace it?
I've found 2 new rocker panels at Craigslist for $125, but don't know if they would fit. I've been browsing the Original Parts Catalogue but can't really find the part... Not knowing if the panels are even for a 911, I need your expert input. Considering they are leaning on a 944 Turbo in the picture, I'm slightly suspicius.
It's a daily driver that I'm prettyfying step-by-step to a _nicer_ daily driver

They look like the right rockers. Not 944 rockers. To save typing here you go.... https://rennlist.com/forums/911-foru...-on-80-sc.html

Take one of your rockers or have measurements written down and measure the replacements. Not knowing if they are after-market or OEM, the dimensions are questionable. Good luck.
