Title: Having a change of heart...
Post by: tsr_adi on 14 August 2012, 12:58
On doing this mk3 dash swap. My main reasons for doing this was because its not a common modification, I wanted the mfa, and I wanted the OBD port. However it doesn't seem to have an OBD port (it's an early 92 K reg, is this right?) and I've found a LOT of bodged wiring near the ignition (from where the previous owner removed an immobiliser, it doesn't appear to have the standard column mounted one either) that has been rejoined by twisting wires together then wrapping with insulation tape  :shocked: so now I'm a bit put off by the idea.

Any thoughts?

Stupid modification.  Leave the original in there.

Its looking increasingly likely thats what will happen now, not sure I want to go through all the hard work involved, to find my mk3 glovebox handle keeps breaking  :grin:

I will however have to use the clocks, stalks, and the early mk3 wheel is already in the car though.

Having a girly pair of hands with a skinny little finger helps too  :grin:
