I havent been able to go to the guys place, he has no real set days hes open either so its a hit and miss game on when I can find out but, I will try:cool:

But that guy was worth 50 points:grin:

I guess I'm supposed to put this here..anyways, I found an entire driverside replace rear panel for a EA81 Hatchback and the same for a Brat. The panels are pretty much the rear quaters behind the door, from the roof to the rocker or the bottom w/e you want to call it. I dont know how much the man wants for them but if someone was interested in them I can go find out. Just thought I would let you all know.

I know there are at least a dozen threads about this so far but, Ive gotta question. Im going to swap my 4spd EA81 tranny to a 5spd EA82 tranny in my 83 wagon. What I have gathered so far, is that the bell housing has to be widened at the bottom, the crossmember mounts have to be modified, and to keep the solid driveshaft you have to shorten it. My questions are, I know where an 83 wagon is with an automatic tranny. Will the driveshaft work in it without having to cut it?? ALSO, I was reading a thread about doin this in a brat and they had to swap out the console and shifters and all that. Does that have to be done in a wagon? AND, is there any big thing that I should be aware off while doing this because this is my first time at trying it.
