Hey everyone, new to the forum, bought a '90 240dl manual wagon this fall and love it. its got 250,000 and running strong, its just rusty on the quarter panels a front doors.



I have access to a 91 sedan for parts without rust, I've heard the front clip should go on with out a problem, can anyone confirm that? and I was wondering if the front doors would work on my wagon.

thanks

 

doors would not be a problem...if you grabbed some from a 70's it might be different..anything 88 and later it would be fine I believe.

CHECK THESE STATS OUT:
Length
Sedan: 189.9 in (4,823 mm)
Wagon: 190.7 in (4,844 mm)
Width Pre-1987 Sedan: 67.7 in (1,720 mm)
1988–1993 Sedan: 67.3 in (1,709 mm)
Height Sedan: 56.3 in (1,430 mm)
Pre-1990 Wagon: 57.1 in (1,450 mm)
1991-93 Wagon: 57.5 in (1,461 mm) Curb weight
Curb weight, 1986–1991 Wagon 3132 lb (1421 kg) Sedan 3022 lb (1371 kg)

 

doors and front is all same for same generation. no hope on rear quarters, different length rear fenders.

 

thanks guys, hopefully ill get that parts car this spring and start changing everything out and painting this summer. Im thinking about cutting parts of the sedans rear quarter panels to use as patch panels

 

dont just swap stuff unless you know its bad.

 

the parts car was donated to my old auto tech teacher for kids to work on and had the engine/tranny ripped out. Im going to use most of it to make my car a whole lot better lookin
