Dash conversion from VR/S-VP...

[VKCOMMO]

Hey all

This is something I want to do before Christmas hopefully, I wish to do a VR/S dash & door trims conversion into my VP.. Preferably Statesman/caprice, but if they're too wide, then just VR/S sedan..

Im just wondering what is involved with this..

Preferably id like to do level 3 (probably out of the car the dash came from, while im pulling the dash out) and climate control (might as well while the dash is out).

Also, I was thinking today, what do I do about the indicator/wiper arms, as VR/S have 2, VP have 1..

Just wondering what problems id come into doing this?

Like?

I want to have the doortrims on it also, as mine are to suit manual windows, and I have power..

I had door trims, just never took pics, Sold the car years ago.

Would they fit though? Looks pretty close between the trim and dash..

Pick & payless cost the absolute world though..

Does anyone know how I would go about wiring it all up?

Just tell them its a vn executive dash and pull the badge out of it they wont know their dumb some things they sell is an absolute joke but some things are fairly cheap.

Jack out of all people i thought you would of searched first! You can pretty much use your VN loom in the VR/VS dash. Or convert the whole loom over to a VR/VS loom.

One question I got tho did anyone transfer the adj steering across?

Knowing me, Ill probably break something coming out. Ill just call Commwreck in advance and get them to pull one out for me

I had a quick google but it didnt show up much..

As in the column? I wouldn't mind doing that while its all out so I can have the adjustable column, but it is one of the last of my worries..

Once we put the 383 in Mischa, do you reckon you could give us a hand with the worst of it (since you know how to take out a dash and I dont ), I can handle the trims & console, its just the major bit of the dash, and the wiring that I'll have a bit of trouble on..

yeah that would be the go im the same i would rather pay someone ive done one before it took me about 40mins to get a dash out its pretty easy but its not to fun good luck with the dash conversion anyways cheers travis

Ouch!

Adj steering would be awsome considering i cant see the speedo if i get a smaller wheel.
