Yep done the dash swap myself, but I changed all my running gear and entire wiring loom etc so it was all matched to same era.

saw that in a rally car last week,

say how much did it cost? was the early dash flocked?

flocking cost me $150

i thought about getting a gauge holder that was flocked but i think the carbon fibre will pick up more chicks. lol

the wiring sux!!! ive gotta try and find some wiring diagrams.

older models are cable.. just need a speedo sensor. no drama there.
