I've been doing all the prep work for the dash swap and adding to my 'how to' guide. Once the car is back from the bodyshop I'll empty our garage and get it in to take out the horrible square dash *cough ;D* and get started. I'll add how to take out the mk2 dash to my writeup just in case anyone doesn't know.

Another thing about the mk3 dash is that the heater controls work in reverse. Cold for hot, hot for cold

I just took the pics for the heater controls and how they hook up to the knobs (ooo err). If they do decide to work backwards I'll connect them up backwards ;D that'll fox 'em!

not sure about the handbrake yet. will find out when I put it in the car. a nice feature about the swap is there's a central ashtray for the backseat smokers. ah bliss.

just cut the diagnostics plug off the loom. no point in leaving it in there. will use the area it should go for something useful no doubt. (like my bass controller ;D)

the only problem I can see from the heater vents is them not lining up. On the mk2 there's only 3 cables for the heaters. 1 for the temp and 2 for the direction. on the mk3 there's 4 cables. the extra one shuts off the fresh air intake channel. depending on which lower section I use detirmings if that stays in or gets removed.

more coming as it happens... and back to jill in the studio.
