yeh but what about the difference in the wheelbase? r coupe, sedan and panelvan the same? like the distance from where the exaust starts 2 where it goes over the diff.

how long is a piece of string??? depends where you cut it!
The wheelbases are the same as far as i know, coz it would cost too much to make new lower control arms off the diff.. not to mention torque tubes/tailshafts, and handbrake cables.. you wont have a problem fitting the exhaust on.. if your really worried... goto an exhaust shop an they'll set you right

I'm pretty sure what Gene actually said was something along the lines of

Sedan doors fit any sedan
Any Coupe doors fit any coupe
and any wagon doors fit any wagon

Thats right, you cant swap them, the length is different too.

the wagons will accept coupe doors... the length is correct, but the hinges on the closing latches are different, so a bit of modifing is required, and the window frame is short by 2" at the rear of the doorthus you need to cut n shut wagon doors and use the wagon glass.... quite a bit of effort involved!
