    Seats would be doable. Won't bolt straight in but bit of tinkering using the vk mounting thingy bit lol can't think what ua call it. The door card prob not so easy. Prob be dif size and the holes for like window wipers and handles etc. Well that's my 2 cents worth. Personally I'd either hunt around the wreckers for some better condition seats etc or if i was made of money get the interior redone.

    Neither fit. Although some have used a bracket. With that, you need an engineer cert.

    anything's possible.just have to work it all out,with me i work it out as i go.i have fitted a vn dash in a cortina,vs door trims,dash and console in a hq ute and other out there stuff.i love making something work when it's not meant to.as previous posts said the seats are not that hard,the door trims however would require a lot of work.especially where the trims meet the dash.you have power windows so winders wouldn't be a problem.door handles-you would use the vy ones.scuff plates and pinchwelds-you would have to have the proper clearance so the doors shut properly and don't crunch on them.there are many things to consider but it is possible!! cheers

    as for door trims,your best bet would be to recover factory cards in same/similar trim to match the seats. retrimming door trims is easy
