Interchangable parts GD on to GA

Post by 72GalantGirl »

So I am having the worst time trying to find a few tiny little parts for my 72GA...
If anyone can help will be much appreciated. I have found a GD wagon in mint condition but I am going to wreck it coz no one is really interested since I am in QLD :)

Does anyone know if the bonnet and front guards fit from GD onto a GA??
And also if the door lock and handle internals and handle fit GD on to GA??
Need to let the guy know if I still want it coz if not he is going to crush is :O

Thanks :)

The guys' going to do WHAT to it? Blasphemous! The wagon is a real unsung hero in my books- especially the difficulty in getting a decent one. Someone save it from the undignified death of being recycled into a commodore.

I'm a bit with you on that, but in this case the wagon is getting saved from the scrapper to at least have some of it's parts used to keep another alive. So that makes it a bit better in my book. I know how hard it is to find a good wagon.

We are talking the stainless trim on the gutter rail here aren't we? If so, I'd compare the strips before you give up on compatibility. The wagons (so I'm told) use GA/GB sedan windscreens. So I also assume the windscreen angle would be the same, IF this is true then they may be compatible? It's always worth a try...

As for any major problems. You wont be able to drive with the windows down when it raining without getting rain inside. That's what I love about my wagon, I can drive in the rain with the windows down most of the time.

yeah keeping it together. But I am getting a GC sedan to replace the diff in the wagon since I am stealing the wagons diff. Will still be complete unless the trim fits :) I might even be able to get a mate to fab it up for me and paint it to match the car :) Hoping to have her rego'd before xmas this year so here is to hoping. Once I get the diff in it's all body work from here :)

Yeah gonna have a good look at it and compare to mine once it gets here. 2 hour round trip to pick up the wagon then off to get a xr6 engine donor :) too many cars.. 11 plus car trailer and soon to be 3 more :O

And I guess if I have any problems I could probably just use the weathershields off something not that I like them but I am sure I can get around the problem anyways. Mine are just full of overspray and rooted :l
And I guess if I drive really fast it will keep the rain out :p

I doubt the gutter trim will fit. The doors on the wagons have a steeper rake angle than it's sedan siblings, so the 'a' pillar will also have a different shape as well. Ages ago I got my hands on some pristine front doors to replace the cancer riddled doors on my old wagon only to find the window frames didn't line up. Don't get caught out like I did...

Sedan doors off what model? GA/B or GC/D?

The GC/D sedan doors don't have a chance in hell of fitting on a wagon. Not without removing the window frame and glass and welding on the wagon window frame.

They were GC/GD doors. I was just starting out on my first gal build when I got burnt by an unscrupulous wrecker (a scum bag) that was having a shutting up shop fire sale. :banh:

I left something out, The rear doors off a GC/D sedan will never fit a GA/B or any type of wagon EVER.
