I got my '82, threw a rod built new engine, liked it.
Anyone know where I can get a replacement hatch?
Mine is rusted through (as most are). I already found a body kit, and everything else I need I just need that damned hatch! After I get all the cosmetic stuff done, I'm going to do the engine/drive train and make her even faster! HAHAHAHAH!!!!
I was clocked at over 160mph as it is, now I need to drop my quarter mile time.........

You can get hatches at boneyards. Finding an 82 hatch will be harder than an 84 or 85...

I've kinda figured that out. I found ONE on ebay, but it had
'minor rust'. Do you happen to know if an 84 or 85 hatch would fit? The electronic may be different, but I can set something up
if at least the size fits.

Don't know from personal experience, but I'm almost certain they'd fit.

...you can get ones in the southwest with no rust... plenty in AZ IIRC.

Hatches are exactly the same with the exception of the full surround wing and shade on the newer ones, I believe the 86 has a third brake light under the wing. but all are mechanically the same.

Thanks for the tip. I can broaden my search now. Hopefully I won't have to spend more than $500 on one.

if you find one with the surround wing and don't want it (the wing), let me know cause I really do.

Hey 82MK2 - I have an extra wing. It is in perfect condition and has all the mounting brackets. If you want it let me know...

 

[RL82]

Cool, how much do you want for it?

 

[Guest]

great price, however I just got terminated from my job. It sucks... all my money is going to car payments (yes im making payments on my '82) and insurance. I should have another job within the month so if you would'nt mind holding it for me? that would be cool. if not I'll find one somwhere.

82 - No problem man the wing has been sitting around for a while now. I was thinking of putting it on my 82 once she gets repainted but now I am leaning towards an adjustable aluminum wing. I feel your pain on the job bro- hell I got a job and it doesn't pay enough!

 

[RL82]

thanks man, appreciate it. I'll let you know when I have the cash.

Check out local junkyards. I just picked up a perfect hatch w/ wing from an 86 for $75. I've got an extra black, wingless, tinted one with a small, golfball-sizrd dent in it if you are interested. Real cheap but I live in Texas so shipping would be high.
