mk3 dash on the way in

[vauxmad]

Good progess so far. i am putting a mk3 dash in with mk3 car loom, i have left the original door looms in and spliced on the mk3 as the replacement one i had did not have electric mirrors on it. heres some pics to help anyone else

heres the car with the original dash removed


the loom removed


to fit the dash over the steering columb you need to cut a piece out of the dash metal support above the steering columb hole


once you have drilled the new top mount holes you will need to put longer bolts in but be gentle or you'll rip the dash


dash in with no loom, you need to make new mounts for the side as the originals don't reach


and the loom in


and the dash starting to go back together


just need to connect the rear of the loom and the engine loom to it

Nice, glad you got it in. I have seen Calibra door cards in the mk2 so anything is possible.

Nice work! Mark T posted up fairly recently about his exploits trying to fit Calibra door cards, they would suit that Mk3 dash.

I dind't get anything near finished, it's just not in my ability to make it look 1/2 decent cutting things about like that.

Very handy, thanks very much!

Got this dash for conversion in the garage, just want some Champion leather (as if) or some black gte 16v trim.
