Everything from the doors forward is the same, trunk lid/taillights and rear bumpers are the same. I'd grab as much as you can...good B pillars are sought after and are same for most all 4 doors/wagons...

I would take as many clean and usable parts as possible. These cars are turning up less and less in the junkyards these days. It's been at least 10 yrs or more since I've seen a Malibu in the local junkyard.
Perhaps the proprietor would give you a good deal on bulk parts.

If the rear doors are good, the wagon guys can swap in their window frames. Wagon doors are unobtainium these days. I made three trips to UP&P, stripping more and more from a Pontiac sedan until it was gone. Several Forum members are now driving around with that organ donor's parts...

How about lower quarter panels will the two door fit the 4 door?
