Compatibility Question from 85 to 88

jsnod25 · 09-19-2009, 11:58 AM

Hey guys, im about to go to the junk yard with traintech86 and need to know if the front quarterpanel from an 85 will fit on an 88, and if the doors are swapable too...? i would love to be able to grab those if they DO fit.

My experience is yes in both situations.

Doors and fenders are the same throughout the entire AW11 range. You shouldn't have a problem.

thank you, now im curious about the doors from the 85 having electric windows, and my 88 does not, its manual. so is there a way to wire up the electric windows to be functional? or can i take out the electrics in the 85 door, and put in the manual mechanics from the 88 into them? otherwise im going to have to get both doors... so that i have matching electrics.

This is what you want to do. It's the simplest approach. Should be a piece of cake.

doors are only different in that they have different drillings for the door panels... (I have an 86 door on my 87... panel didn't fit).

fenders are the same, but the later years have a hole in them for the front lip to attach

i can sell you a pair of the non-power doors if you're interested.

i'm the guy traintech met @ the yard.

jsnod25 · 09-24-2009, 07:08 AM

can you sell only the passenger? the drivers side is clean, its just the passengers side with deep rust. It hasnt penetrated all the way (meaning i cant push it through with my finger), but it is pretty swolen and large spots.

Maybe you could do somthing with the door i have currently, and would give a discount like as if it was a "core" trade...

Let me know if, and how much the passenger side is, and if you would want the one i have right now.

Thank you

i could possibly only sell the door you need, but i don't need the door in-return. sorry.

jsnod25 · 09-24-2009, 10:21 AM

thats fine, how much you want for that door then?

toyotaspeed90 · 09-24-2009, 02:37 PM

from your other post.... why don't you just make some CF or FG skins.... you should be able to make a mold just fine using a temp fix over the rust....

i didn't even take a peak at the doors on your parts car(i assume) they are crank status? i might have to purchase those from you. i can't stand my power windows...

ToyotaTechGeek · 10-03-2009, 08:02 AM

yeah, they are manual windows.

traintech86 · 10-03-2009, 01:41 PM

out standing haha! my car does this weird thing where the doors will unlock themselves, that and 1 window has a gear tooth missing. we really should get together again. saddly i work all this weekend. but yeah if i did buy your doors then jason could take mine if he wants the power stuff. the window gear is replaceable i read.
