What will fit??
« on: 10 November 2011, 12:57 »
Iv heard a few people say that a mk4 interior will fit the mk3? So does that mean te front seats, rear bench and door cards? Also the steering wheel, gearstick and hand brake?

What other non mk3 interiors will fit?

The seats will fit with mods, steering wheel will also fit with mods to the airbag wiring.

Door cards will not fit.

Seats will swap fairly easily

But doorcards never do!

Have a look through this thread here. Mk4 Seats into a MK3.

Basically you need to know how to weld, or someone who does! :grin:

Might do, based on a mk4 floorpan and all the mountings are the same as a mk4 so maybe.

Do toolbox what mods the rear seats need to fit? Iv had a thought, you know universal bucket seat mounts? Could they be adapted so no welding is required for the fronts, and bolt them
Through the floorpan?
