Rocker panels - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I just bought a 94 corolla, the little car runs great, but the rocker panels on both sides are rusted out. I've been searching around but can't find anywhere that sells replacements. Anyone know a place? All help is appreciated.

I have not seen any that would sell these panels. You'll probably have to make your own.

hmm I will probably just leave it as is then, I hate fiberglass and actually making them out of sheet metal would be more time than I really wanna spend on the corolla

Tried a junk dealer? Normally they'll have several of these cars. 93-97 panels will fit. Geo panels probably won't, not sure about 98-02 models.

The junk yard here scrapped his 93-97 rollas a long time ago. Funny I thought I'd hate this car, because I've not liked driving my moms auto 97 every time that I have. But I've really started to like my little standard 94 the only thing I wish is that it had a tach cluster and tilt wheel.

Odd he would junk 'em... TONS of these left. Check some other yards. You may be able to swap in the tach cluster (the cluster will fit though some cars lack the wiring off the distributor).

Rocker panels from Toyota are about $120 each. That's for the center section and up the B-pillar.

Not sure which part exactly you need, but it might not be too bad from Toyota. If it's the part that is also the quarter panel, then the price would be quite a bit higher.

Is there a step by step process to do this?

I hadn't thought about calling the stealership, they are usually too high to deal with. I may give them a try though. I guess the cars at the junkyard had sat forever and never been touched lol.
