New Cutlass Owner

[hangmans8]

I just picked up a 1980 cutlass wagon. it needs rear frame repair but is in good shape otherwise. need door weather striping and some other parts. do the 4 door malibu/buicks/olds use the same rear doors for parts? is there a restoration parts place?
thanks for any info.

You can use the parts such as door panels, interior trim, internals, and glass from Malibu, Buick, Pontiac, but the only doors that will interchange with an Olds would be Buick...different body lines.

Upper half of the rear doors are different between wagons and sedans. Parts like door panels and latches interchange, but the window frame, glass, and vent window are all different.

I bought new weather stripping for the doors on my Cutlass wagon from Metro-Molded through Rock Auto.

There's a fellow up in Canada that makes rear frame sections and there's also a fellow on ebay in California that always has clean original ones. Just make sure you get wagon specific rear frame rail sections.
