Welcome to the Club - lots of helpful and clever folks here. Don't forget to d/l the FSM - see the General Forum for info.
The front fenders are the same as used on sedans - that might help.
I think there was a slight difference between '83-6 and '87-8 because of the different headlight group, but am not sure; possibly it just involved the side marker assembly.
You might go to the EPC sticky in the Part Numbers - OE and Aftermarket Forum and explore.

i actually just swapped both front fenders from an '84 on to an '87 with no issues so there are no problems in that respect. i think the only variable is the location of the antenna, which can be on either fender. both my '84 and '87 had it on the passenger side but i haven't seen any rhyme or reason as to which cars have it on which side so that is something you might need to watch for on a car to car basis. of course, you could always remove the entire antenna with its wire and swap it to the other side. would only take a few more minutes.

Fenders for both wagons and sedans are interchangable--but double-check the oem parts numbers. This would help solve your dilemma. For myself, I've become very familiar with BondoHair, as far as my front fenders are concerned.

is bondo hair good for filling the area where fender used to be??

[hberdan]

Ha! Wouldn't it be really something to make a whole fender from Bondo? That much Bondo would cost more than replacement fenders!
Naw, I just use the BondoHair to fill rusty spots--even larger rusty spots--on the existing fenders, but I'm sure there's a size limit to what can be done.
However, if you use backing material, large areas can be filled in and repaired--I've used hardware cloth as backing material, even thin sheet metal, packed it with BondoHair, then contoured the repair with body files and sandpaper. Good results.
