Hi! I'm a newbie on here-first post. I am a long-time tinkerer, with my favorite vehicles being old IH, Toyota and Subarus. I recently came across a remarkable 1982 Brat, mainly because it is almost all original, rust-free and straight. It is NOT mint or perfect or anything, but solid! The decals and paint are sun-faded (Santa Fe, NM), and the interior has dash cracks from the sun and seat cracks as well. The heater vent louvres are dry and cracking and breaking.
I HAVE done MANY internet searches, and it is always hard to pick the exact correct key search words to find the right information, but I am wondering what interiors were the same as the 1982 Brat. I know they say the wagons, hatches and Brats stayed similar from 1982-1987, even though the coupes and sedans changed, but I did not know if that meant only the mechanicals and some body panels, or if this went for the interiors as well.
There is an 86 Wagon parts car about an hour drive from here, but I don;t want to make the drive until I know if the interior is going to match up. I would LOVE to be able to clean up these few little issues because this car is SO good that this could make it even better!
So, if this is info I should have found easily, I apologize. I tried my best! I found LOTS of info on mechanical interchange and body interchange, but just didn't see anything on interior layout.
Thanks! Even when I was just searching the internet at large before I signed up for this site, this site was almost ALWAYS at the very top of my search results and I have gotten a LOT of great info from here! Fantastic community and fantastic forum!
