It would need to be engineered. The mountings are completely different, the wagon top and base are both on hinges and the top is held in place by catches. The sedan base bolts to the floor, and the top is held in place by brackets off the front of the parcel shelf bracing, which doesn't exist in a wagon.
Basically, you'd have to cut the panel from the sedan, weld it into the wagon, get it engineered, and then end up with a wagon that has a back seat that wont fold down anymore.

I imagine that was meant to say 'and are sedan doors the same as wagon'.
Yes and no is the answer.
All Galant wagons are based on the GA/B sedans.
So:
GA/B front doors do fit
GC/D front doors fit if you remove the top frame and glass, and replace it with the right one (the windscreen rake is different on the GC/D sedan to the wagons).
GA/B rear doors will fit if you cut the top frames off (as above)
GC/D rear doors do not fit at all.

I suppose they would, but you'll have to cut them down to fit.
Talk to a vehicle trimmer, I don't think they'd charge you much for it?
