Hey I'm wondering if someone here can help me out before I make a long drive! A usmb member pointed out a '78 wagon at a UPULL which is about 100 miles from me and kindly sent some pictures.  For my 78 brat I really need some interior door trim pieces and a window regulator / slides.  If it's a 4-door 78 wagon, will the drivers side door be the same dimensions as the brat?  Or will I get there and just be mad because everything is close but not actually swappable ... TIA! 

Trying to attach some pics of the junker car from my phone. The door panels look temptingly close!

Only two door parts cars help your Brat for doors and panels.

If that is a 4wd 78 wagon I could use the bumper ends or whole rear bumper if it's not beaten.

Those are not the square style bumpers as seen on most late 70's Subarus.

Aww , man.

I think it is a 4wd but I don't know what shape the rear end is in

So I'm just curious if anyone has a 78 ish wagon and wouldn't mind comparing the mounting hole spacing to this on my brat - I wonder if even if the doors are a different size maybe they share the regulator?

Search one of the parts sites for any two door from 78 up and that'll work. I really think the four doors won't work unless maybe you can disconnect the rails and swap yours into the regulator. That I've never had to try.

 

What's the one people use for searching? Co-part? Or Car-Part? You'll find one. Probably closer than you think too.

Sorry - 78-79 for two door cars and of course up to 81 for Brat.

 

You could also get lucky searching 77 but be sure it isn't Stage I - because I'm not positive those are the same. Sure could be , but I'd check that with someone experienced in using a 72-77 regulator in a 78-81 Brat.
