Westy hightop interior panels replacement?

Hi all, I have just bought a 1990 westy atlantic high top, The high top roof has been modified, with the rear skylight having been removed and fiberglassed over (assuming there was a leak). The replacement job on the rear half of the hightop panels is a bit shoddy and I want to get it replaced as close to possible as new. Does anyone know where I might be able to get the panels, left and right walls, roof and back wall for the roof?
Also seems like a good opportunity to refresh the insulation, has anyone done anything like this before?
Thanks

Have you thought about getting a replacement skylight and cutting it back in?
New skylights

Yeah I have thought about that, I'd like to re-instate it but until I can find the inside panels it's going to be tough.

AFAIK the interior panels are not available new but they are 3/4mm plywood so they can easily be copied with a jigsaw.
The OEM look is harder to achieve, but V White Basket textured Tolex (cover vinyl for amplifiers) is a good match

Whereabouts in the world are you Joe? I have some high top interior panels which I acquired to do another job with but it seems a shame to cut them up when they could be used as intended.

Hi Mark, that'd be really great! I'm in Devon. If you're willing to sell them on I'll happily pay for the shipping as well. I'll PM you with my email address now.

Good shout, thanks for the tip, if I can't get originals this will be my next option, thanks.

Hi Mark did you end up selling these panels on?
