have done 90% of the conversion - the dash is the easy part - the wiring is a bitch -

still got windscreeen wipers and headlights to do on a mates Vn commo - is a lot of buggering around and blowing fuses to make work!!!!!!

its really not that hard... im sorry but i have done it and its not that complicated...

few niggling issues but really nothing that difficult. Demister vent is the hardest part, so i didnt bother haha. points for markover in trying to get it to work.

Few custom looms aad to be made but car wiring is easy

Geeze Ive had some drama with the demister vents ...Started out with the vn vents and have been trimming them down to get them to fit...problem is the vn vents slots point towards the windscreen but the vs ones point away so you have to cut slots into the opposite side of the valley where the vs vents are and plug the old ones up.
Also the dash plastic behind the cluster wont let you get the angle you need so you have to keep trimming one side of the vn vents down. Its been done before so I will get it.
The actual face vents in the middle of the dash seem to be in a different position too but that is another job.
