Title: MK3 DASH
Post by: retromk2craig on 02 August 2010, 22:46

HOW HARD IS A MK3 OR MK4 DASH CONVERSION IN A MK2, I WOULD LIKE TO DO DASH AND CARNTER CONSOLE. ALSO WILL CORRADO FRONT SEATS AND REARS GO STRAIGHT IN, AT THE MOMENT I HAVE MK3 SEATS AND CUT AND RE WELDED THE LEGS TO GET THEM TO FIT.

I believe both will go in with work

Not sure on the Corrado seats

front corrado seats straight fit, rears need work. see the guide on matey-matey.
you can make any dash go in with enough effort, mk3 is slightly easier for you as all the wiring will plug straight into your fusebox if its a post 90 mk2 with hazard on column. mk4 needs wire splicing

I believe you will need some mods / brackets.

The Mk3 dash is commonly available in the MK3 golf.  If you want this dash then buy a MK3.

The MK2 dash is regarded as being of better quality.  People who see you with a MK3 dash in a MK2 will regard you as a cock.

However.  You are free you do as you please.  Individualism is the choice of the free world.  But you will still be seen as a cock.

Its your car and do with it what you please...


N.B.


Putting a MK3 dash into a MK2 golf is like putting Vanessa Felz into gold Lamé hotpants.

worthy of adulation for your mechanical skillz.

But ultimately, disdain for your aesthetic ability.

Its a MK2 Golf. Unanimously voted the best GTI.

Why B-a-s-t-e-r-d-i-s-e  it

dash swaps are for show cars that don't get driven.

every singel car i've drive where someone has donee a dash swap has been nasty,  they usualy squeek and rattel half the stuff dosent work and they often end up ffitting badly

the corrado dash looks at home in a mk2 and is a lot nicer than the mk3 and 4 dashes
