March 22, 201511 yr So excited... I just got a 1980 DL wagon 4WD (delivered from Seattle) however it's in need of fenders & rocker panels. 2 Questions: What years have / interchange with, that body? Does anyone have a good source for fresh body panels? -Thanks in advance!
March 22, 201511 yr Hi This is Jerry, 80-84 wagon will fit the head light are different but the fenders and doors are the same. i have a 80 left front fender but how can i ship that without getting dented up. Let me know Thanks Jerry
March 22, 201511 yr 80-84 wagon sedan, and coupe 82-87 brat 80-89 hatchback (3 door) The wagon and sedan have the same length doors, the brat coupe and hatch are longer. You may also have to contend with the antenna hole. I believe 80-82 have the antenna on the drvr side and 83 and up are on the pass side. So if you find a later set youll have to deal with some holes or move your antenna. The holes are an odd shape but ive done it befor. In your case you need both, ide just grab the antenna off the newer car. Im not sure where in Phx you are but if your in DV or Anthem it might be easier. funner and cooler to head up north than down to Broadway. Upickit has an 83 wagon in Prescott Valley and theres a couple in Flag. www.upickitaz.com Welcome aboard and congrats.
March 22, 201511 yr Author Wow - thanks for all the info! ihscout54; Thanks for the spotters tip on the 83 (That should be a thread - wrecking yard sightings). I'm in the Buckeye area. Your right, headed north is more fun! Jerry; If I strike out in DeerValley / Anthem AZ, I'll take you up on your offer. I have friends in the Olympia area - Maybe meet 1/2 way? We'll see. Thanks Again! PS - (Little off topic) Looks like my lights are off an 82 ???
March 22, 201511 yr Those lights are the right ones for your '80. There is a section on the board for junkyard sightings. Since ur in buckeye the broadway rd junkyard "strip" is much more conviniant.

Let me know Thanks Jerry Crate it up in 1X boards cover with cardboard and ship on Greyhound they are fairly reasonable too.
