vs/vr statesman dash

[brenny_90]

hey everyone, just looking for some info for a dash conversion im going to do in my vs ute.

So ive tracked down an entire dash off a guy, but he's told me (because im using my original console) that the vs console is different to the vr and wont work with the stato dash,different set up??
As far as i knew, the two models used the same sort of setup.can anyone please confirm or tell me what he would be meaning with the differences, and how it would effect the conversion?
thanks.

I've never owned a statesman but from what I've seen in the wreckers the console and radio surround looks identical. The seriesIII statesman has a slightly different console/ radio surround set up but it can be made to fit the vr-s with a little modification.

I fitted a Series II Statesman console to my VR Exec and all that needs to be modded is the support bracket above the stereo. Otherwise a statesman dash and console will bolt into the car. If you wanna use your original console then just get a VR - VS S1 Statesman dash and youll be fine. Dont forget the airvents for the door cards aswell .
