MKIII Door Fitment?

[SlickA70]

What's up everyone?

Just got my hands on a MKIII and am really curious:

Will 1989 doors fit a 1988 Targa Top Supra?

Are they the same car in terms of body?

I know the bumper, tails, spoiler, etc changed but did anything else change? (Other then bolt ons parts)

Thanks for any help !!! :biglaugh:

Yes the door will fit.
Did you really go buy a door when you didnt know if it would work?

Nah was gonna meet up with the guy at the end of the week, just double checking.

Thanks yo!

The plugs for the wiring changed from 88 to 89 to a different shape, I found that out the hard way when I had to switch over the wires from one plug to the other. Thats about the only problem

 

[SlickA70]

Oh man even if I keep the '88 interior panels?
Wasn't too much work though was it? Just cutting and connecting wires more or less?

 

[SlickA70]

If I just kept my old interior panels and wiring I wouldn't have that issue hey?

The wiring is pretty simple to remove. It's 1 piece with the plug for your windows/speakers that runs through the door to the kick panel.

if the door is not off another targa car, your car might flex, as the door acts like a structural member when the targa is off..

like wise, you can't put a targa door onto a hardtop car, unless you remove the hook it uses to lock into the body..

Shit, so do I have anything to worry about seriously?

it won't be too bad, depends on your car, if it's had the top off almost all its life and if the subframe hasn't been tightened and stuff, it'll feel noodly...

but if it's been taken care of an everything's nice and tight, don't see why it'd be a problem..

Found out they are tagra doors, so I'm gonna have some fun!!!

Thanks for all the help!
