Good source for body panels? ('87 245) 200

Hello,

I just purchased a good running 1987 240 wagon but, being from Pennsylvania, it's got some fairly serious rust issues. Specifically the rocker panels (outer, inner, and floor panel where they meet) and tailgate around the window as well as wheel well arches. The rockers seem to have rusted from the inside out, which I've read is a common issue due to drains being routed into them.

Is there any aftermarket source for these parts or will I need to fabricate patch panels out of pieces from older 242 models (which seem to have some availability) or scour for used parts from the southwest?

Thanks for any tips!!!

Mike
