help out a newbie- 74 Campervan

Hi Everyone
I have a 74 camper I picked up on ebay some months back. Came minus an engine (was taken off the road due to engine failure and that was ripped out before I got it) so I am using an Ej25 subaru engine.
I am chasing down sources of parts specifically rust repair panels. Anyone recommend a supplier? I live in WA but don't mind having them freighted.
Project Rupy-doo (the camper came complete with the name Rupert and I am putting in a scooby doo engine so I thought Rupy-doo was an appropriate project name) is under way- I have the engine and soon the conversion kit now I just need to fix the rust and source odds and ends.
If anyone has done this engien conversation I would love to hear from you- or if you are in WA I would love to see it.
Also can you recommend a company to make/ supply the canvas for the pop top camper?
thanks in advance
Nikola
