88 rolla wagon, a few questions

ok so i bought a 88 rolla wagon as a beater, then sold it to a friend that desperately needed a car and she agreeed to pay me to fix it up.

ive fixed the brakes and some other odds and ends now im going to tackle some other issues

shocks, i have a set of low milage shocks and springs from a 94 corolla i had, will they interchange with the 88?

rear speakers, after adding a factory radio/tape deck, i found there are no rear speakers, where would the wiring be for the rears for the wagon?

passenger rear quarter window, can i use one from a regular 4dr or is it wagon specific?

rear wiper, the factory arm is missing and there are no wagons in the yards, is there another model i can use a wiper arm from?

thanks

I think, I THINK, that the window will have to be off a wagon (pretty sure the windows have different angles), unsure on shocks, SHOULD be wires in the rear for speakers, have a poke around, if not, speaker wire is cheap and easy to run from the head unit to the rear, as for the wiper, just do some trial and error, fond one with correct spline then see if it works well on the window (too long, too short etc)

It might also depend on which wagon you're talking about... the regular FWD model or an All-Trac / 4WD model. The rear speakers on the All-Trac are located on the roof behind the back seat.

I think the shocks will fit.
The AE101 springs and struts are a fraction of an inch wider on the bottom than the AE92 units, so if you use the AE101 struts on the AE92, the lower spring seats will have a bit of space around the spring.

You could possibly use the AE101 springs also, but only with the AE101 struts.

Shocks will fit. Shocks from ae92, ae101 and ae111 are all interchangeable. I got gr2's from a ae91 sedan on my levin and i have a friend with cusco coilovers from a ae111 levin on the ae91 i got the shocks from.

ok good to hear, thanks guys. fronts and rears work? the fronts i checked are in ok shape but the rears feel like new


also someone took out the factory fan and put an aftermarket fan on but its only around 10 inch

i have access to some aftermarket fans fairly cheap

would a fan that moves 1500-2000cfm be ok?
