I have a 1980 Cutlass Supreme with serious body/rust damage- Being my first Cutlass and not know much I need answers-
I have found some mid 80's cars that could possibly be used as donor cars but have read many posts- yes they will fit, not they won't and now totally confused. Does anyone know what years or if any that doors and quarters would fit properly?
Thanks in advanced

first off 2 door or 4 door?
 
I'm not promising anything, but I *think* the doors are interchangeable between Cutlass and Regal from '78-'80. I do know they look really similar.

Not that you'll have any better luck finding those in the yards either. :?
 
Thanks

Thank you to all that have offered advice- maybe the Regal doors will fit close enough, now onto the rear quarter panels- this is a challenge and I agree they are getting hard to find! I am guessing there isn't anything with a really, really close fit?
 
No, Cutlasses had a pretty unique form.

Now, if the quarters are that bad, how is the frame?

2 door- and frame is Ok- I just have a few minor dents in a front fender, and mostly major rust in others. I was just thinking replacements may be easier than repair ( that is if I can find something) and probably cheaper

I do not think 78-80 interchange 81-87 Regal and Cutlass use same doors. GN guys love us Cutlass guys. Constantly raiding dead Oldsmobiles for fresh doors.
