bleuquila Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moosens Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleuquila Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Aww , man. I think it is a 4wd but I don't know what shape the rear end is in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleuquila Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) 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?

moosens Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
