The 'ol Switch-A-Roo!! [aZk]

[Matt_vp]

i did my vs dash convo over the easter break but i still have a few things to tidy up, the only bit u need from the vr heater box is the little plastic bit that goes to the middle vents, the wiring is the worst bit but i didn't do that a mate of mine that put a vr dash in his vn did, but alot of the wires were differant between vn-vr and vp-vs, so it was a big headache for him, but is a great mod it looks so much better. i'll try and get some pics up.

I admire your spirit, taking on so much at once

But that's the way to do it, really. Do it all right the first time, then you don't have to spend months working up the motivation to take it all apart again to fix something stupid. I'm really looking forward to seeing this whole thing come together. Even more, I'm looking forward to finally seeing this thing in the flesh when she's finished!!

And most importantly, keep slaving away and posting pictures, we havn't forgotten about you \o/
