lo all, after years of wanting a mk4 golf dash in my mk1 i finally got round to doing this today.











i havent got any new pics of the out side of the car, but i havent done anything since christmas.

CHEERS ALL

Looks like quite a handful.

I remember (for some odd reason) trying to fit a corsa dash into a nova (don't ask), that was a pain in the ****!

What are you doing about the door cards, doesn't look to be a lot of room between the side of the dash and the side of the doors!
 
hi mate,

im planning on using some cabby door cards as they cover the full door and dont leave the top metal part exposed.

theres loads of room, atleast 0.001mm haha. it will be fine im sure :D

im gona have to fit electric windows though as the winders wont work now due to the dash.

thanks for looking

not as much interest as i thought. :(

ill get some more updates when i get back from afganistan in about 3 weeks

cheers all

Looks cool, I really like mk1 golfs. Maybe you should have fitted a porchse dash though, like this old Jetta :P :

That Jetta rocks.

Nice one on fitting the MK4 interior, the one thing that bugs me about the old cars is the interior's, I do plenty of miles and would like comfort sometimes too, you will have with the mk4 interior.
 
I think it looks/will look really good. Not too modern, but very modern for a Mk1. Good move IMO (but a pain in the arse!). P.S, what have you done about clocks/clock readings?.

No, he will have an asthetically pleasing dashboard. The rest of the car is still a Mk1 Golf.

Looks good though, nice job!
