can any vw dash fit into a mk2 golf i no mk3's can coz dizzie has done it but is it possible for a corrado one or a mk4 dash to fit into a mk2
-
anything is possible if you have enough time/money/skill!
corrado dash in a mk2 is the most common. never seen a mk4 one.
how about a TT one? :) that is the hot one at the moment
-
i think awesome did a mk4 dash.
i know they fitted a mk4 polo dash. looked alrite ;)
Why not go all out and fit an Audi TT one?
-

-

unless the mk4 cabs have mk3 dashs that is actually a mk3 dash ???
Snowballs has this weird bobbley feel to it unlike mine that's smooth.
Dash swaps are relietively easy. they just take time to get them right. Mine took about a week, but it wasn't a week of solid work. it was about a day a week over 6 weeks due to work and other things. also my car had to be back in a driveable state every night which probably slowed down things.
It took me about a day to cut it and get it fitting somewhere near
a night or so to do all the electric side of things. joining looms together mainly
3 hours or so to change the matrix's over with the help of my mum ;D
5 hours to remove the dash, cut the bar down, weld it in and replace the dash.
and loads of other fiddley bits I've forgot about
if you want to talk to me at all about my dash swap catch me on MSN: Dizzie@tripwyre.co.uk or give me a bell on 07967 130162 (orange)
I've got loads of pics of during the swap :)
-
yep mk4 cabs do indeed have a mk3 dash. I think a mk4 cab is based on the mk3.
-
I really really like the polo mk4 dash - bet they're a bomb to pick up tho :(
-
how hard is it to get a mark4 polo dash in a mark 2? is there much modifying? and how much do they cost
-
If u do it then I'll do it same time as u that way we can help each other out :)
-
ok you buy the dash and ill install it ;D
-
in2 my car? thats very kind of u ;D
-
in2 my car? thats very kind of u ;D
in my car........ then u can buy urself one and i will fit it
-
ummm how about wi both buy one each then fit them together?? :)
-
or is that jus me being selfish :D
-
depends when u say fit them together ;)
-
well if u push hard nuff I'm sure it will just slide in easily - just hope we don't have to cut it in any way coz that cud get messy ;)
-
if i push hard enough it may go through the bonnet :o
-
just slide it in gently then - I'll help u guide it in? Are there any precautions we need to take?
Dizzie's done it before but I don't think his was as big so we cud ask him for advice?
-
My mind is far too dirty for this thread... or golfgal did that intentionally! ;D
Love the TT look and definately consider a dash change in the future when the funds are available. If you're going to do it get as many pics and such as possible so that we can all benefit from the experience. :)

I had a good look at a tt dash as i was in morrisons carpark i parked next to a tt quattro 3.2 very nice indeed and i loved the dash in it
-
herd its a bugger to fit ::)
where would you find a TT dash..breakers? ::)
-
i been thinkin about that gonna be hard to get hold of one i been thinkin about a audi 80 1989 dash aswell coz i remember it from my dads old 1 had a leather feel to it seemed quite nice cant find pics of one though
-
if you ever do a dash conversion and want that leather feel. why not get a dash retrimmed in leather ???

this little lot was up for ?600...
Was tempted, but wasnt' about to rip out the mk3!
-
is that everything you need for the conversion?
-
while were on the subject of dashes any one know how hard it is to put a corrado dash into a mk2
-
herd its easier than the mk3 if that helps::)
-
cheers every little helps, had a look at dizzies dash at newark it looked good 8)
-
ello vaughn!! how sit going matey!! havent had chance to bang that alpine in yet!! may get chance 2mrw!!!???? thinking of mk4 dash for your old mk2!!
-
I was talking about sinking my dash in another inch, but if I do that I'm going to create more problems underneath where all my air vents line up and things like that so it's staying put. I'm thinking about building some tweater pods that slot into the remaining holes near the windscreen to fill the holes :)
if you want any advice/guidance I've always got time gti89
blue, I think so. The TT dash is a lovely dash, but I still have a soft spot for the mk3 hence why I put a mk3 one in and no other ;D
-
dutchdub done the TT conversion.
example of how it fits....
