February 4, 201412 yr Two hood questions actually. I have a 86, ea81 Hatch. I need a new hood. Does my replacement have to be from another Hatch or Brat? Or, will a 80-84 wagon/sedan/coup hood work? Also, I have a 92 loyale sedan. I need a new hood. Can I use a hood off a loyale/gl wagon? I searched the archives. Came up inconclusive. Seems I've read that there are compatibility issues between the hood's on these particular models. Any insight much appreciated.
February 4, 201412 yr There is a difference in ea82 hoods. But only with the washer nozzles. 85 and 86 have them in the cowl, 87 and up has them in the hood. The cowl is swappable to match either or. Good luck
February 4, 201412 yr Maybe first we need to establish why you're so hard on hoods! :lol: :lol: Just kidding. John
February 4, 201412 yr Author Alright. Thanks for the info, guys. Sounds like my options are pretty much limitless. I shoulda asked a couple weeks ago when I started thinking about all this. As for the hoods, these are both pretty new subi's to me. The loyale's hood suffered huge damage coming open on the PO going down the hwy.. The hatch I plan to paint and its straight except for the hood. And it only has typical dents but I don't want to do body work and I don't want to paint dents.
