here, or on Dave Hall's <BR>> site, by<BR>> color and year.<BR>><BR>> When your car was new, there were 5 holes on the side of each rocker <BR>> panel,<BR>> as well as 2 more on the bottom of each rear fender and 1 more on <BR>> the bottom<BR>> of the front fender. Those holes were for the attachment of the <BR>> chrome trim<BR>> strips that each car came with. Your strips have been removed and <BR>> the rocker<BR>> holes filled. The rust spots are probably where the old holes were. <BR>> The<BR>> rocker panel, and likely more, has been repainted. This might mean <BR>> that<BR>> matching the paint will be harder, if the repaint didn't match the <BR>> OE color.<BR>><BR>> --<BR>> *******************************<BR>> Jim Adney, <a ymailto="mailto:jadney@vwtype3.org" href="javascript:return">jadney@vwtype3.org</a><BR>> Madison, Wisconsin,
