VN/VP Dash Into VH...

[Zeussy]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone / or anyone you know of has put a VN/VP dash into a VB/VC/VH/VK/VL??

I've seen it done before, just was too young to really know about how they went about it. Not sure if it was just the outer shell of the VN/VP's dash, or if the whole heater assembly etc was swapped over.
Will need to make the dash narrower, but on the one I saw they just took off the outer air vents, and it fitted comfortably inside the VH door trims. But I might end up narrowing the whole dash pad as I would like outer vents.

I don't mind modifying the firewall where neccessary, welding up old holes, drilling new ones etc... as I'll be painting the engine bay soon.

Basically, I have 1 VP sitting in the drive, and next to it, a VH. So in my mind, between the two I should have what i'll need to get it done.
A VP, in a VH shell...
Everything, engine driveline etc, all dash/heater/would like steering column? if it'l fit?? And all wiring, (so then the dash will work with the VP driveline - bit of overkill, just to save some wiring issues, lol,)


Any tips or advice??!

Ok, for anyone thats interested...

Quote out of my "Project VH" thread,

Let me just start out by saying, anyone who wants to put a VN/VP Dash into an old gurl, that doesn't have a fair level of fabrication/welding skills, don't bother..!!

lol, I was going to do a 'How To' but, basically all it would include would be:

Remove dash from VH,
Remove dash supports,
Remove dash from VP,
Trial fit,
Make VP dash fit into VH,
Trial fit,
Cut out brackets in VP,
Trial fit,
Modify to suit VH,
Trial fit,
Weld in,
Trial fit,

And thats just the Dash outer skin, haven't started on the Heater Core/Air Conditioner unit yet.... lol

Keeping it that colour?

The dash, or the car??

Both = No...!

The Dash, is most likely going Satin Black.
The Car, well the car is still undecided, but I like the idea of going back to the original colour of the car, a Burgundy - But with a twist, nice flake/pearl. With blacked out window surrounds/tail light area.
