HAS ANYONE EVER TRIED FITTING A MK4 DASHBOARD IN A MK3??????

[sam1990]

hi everyone,
                im currently driving a mk4 20v t, i love the power but i really prefer the mk3 shape so i will be doing a 20v t conversion into a mk3 shell as soon as i next get one into work (i work for a vw dismantler/restorer), the conversion i have no issue with buti must admit i like my creature comforts and will be putting my recaros into the mk3 and as much of the mk4 interior trim as possible, i might try and make a door card to fit the mk3 the looks like the mk4 cards and also house the mk4 handles/window switches (if anyones done anything alone these lines any advice would be much appreciated!) the main aim tho is to try and get the mk4 dash into the mk3!, now i havent measured these yet so it might be impossible but i was wondering if anyone had seen this done or tried it them self???

any other ideas for modernizing the interior would be appreciated

thanks sam.

If you doing a 1.8t conversion then your part way to fitting a mk4 dash with the wiring etc.

thats a good point, i could then use most of the internal mk4 loom in the 3, the main issue ive got is the steering collom as im sure ill mess it up :/
