144 panels 140-160

I know this message is a little old, but as was mentioned earlier all the panels will work.. won't be year correct but will bolt on and function. I have trouble believing your doors are so rotten that they need replacement. I've never seen a badly rusted 140 door, ever. Yes the handles will be different, yes you can change the style with great difficulty, no it's not worth it :) Other differences will be that you will have no vent window and a side impact beam.. which will make the door heavier.. As for the fenders (front quarter pannels) they will bolt right on.. but will have the big (ugly in my opinion) indicator light.. I don't like them on any year and personally like to have them deleted entirely.

Also I've never seen a rusty hood or trunk/boot lid.. how bad is this car you're restoring?
