« 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.

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
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

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