[mistergTRx]

was there much worked involved in doing the dash conversion?

[NEDWOB]

the dash conversion are a fun thing to do. did u use the stato loom and bcm or just patched it in.

[lowvpcal]

yea there super fun happy times doin them hahhaa i bought a written off vr calais late last year and pulled the body loom and bcm out of that, then i plugged the dash harness into it and it works fine. the only thing i had a lil trouble with is the speedo but ive fixed that now. when i bought the new dash (i had a vs statesman one previously) it came with the complete uncut body loom and i was kickin myself but i wasnt about to go through all that again and i figured why bother when it all works.

yea the tough look with a hint of class haha

[lowvpcal]

was there much worked involved in doing the dash conversion?

yes and no. ive gotta pull the dash back out so i can sought out a half decent demister. but if u follow the path that meanvn and myself have the wiring is a breeze cause its plug and play and with a lil elbow grease pushin and shovin it goes in almost without a hitch

[lowvpcal]

what do i need to remove/fold away to make the caprice rear seats fit so there not touching the doors??

[NEDWOB]

around 1.5 inches of each side but the edge closest to the middle section and not the wing edge,

[vnsmanual]
