Dunno. If it came with alloy wheels, it should have the deeper door. Where the �82 door has the attaching bolt hole through the door. The later door for wider tires has a piece of angle welded to it dropping the door down about 1.5�. When you change the door, you need to change the bars above the tire as well as they too are different. When you see the two doors side-by-side the difference is obvious.
