I just wanted to make sure: if I want to replace the rusty hatch on my 92 SE, will the hatch from a 89 or 90 240 fit?

Eh I doubt it's THAT hard... even if it is I dont care that much... its not like I cant handle opening the drivers door and popping the thing.

No I was saying I hate when people say search on everything, it was an exaggeration heh. Lock swapping I have no idea, but would hate to have 2 diff keys for diff locks on my car.

haha I gotcha, lol thanks

I never use my key to open the trunk anyways, so ehhhhh. I'd rather have 2 different keys than a rusted up hatch, that's for sure!

Yikes, thats one bad rust problem. I actually had that on my other 240, but not as bad...and no rust. I used the metal grating stuff that came with the bondo to put over the holes. just be sure to dent them in a tad so its flush after you sand it all down.

whatever *****es :pface but hey fiznat I'd like to know where to get a new one as well, btw my hatch is like 10x's as rusted as yours is, I was a member of the duct tape crew until I found out how badly it performed in the florida sun. I am now a proud member of the electrical tape crew.
