question on a dash swap

would it be possible to put the dash from an 86 into an 82? or will there be parts that are not compatible?

Re: question on a dash swap

I just talked to a boneyard guy who has one forsale. The all interchange. He wanted $100.00. I thought it was a bit steap. I have corner issues as many do. I'm gonna try to fix myself first.

Re: question on a dash swap

Would a 92 RS dash swap into an 87 Iroc?

Re: question on a dash swap

It would fit just fine. If you find one that is in good condition, go for it. They are a cinch to replace.

Re: question on a dash swap

Are you restoring the 92, or the 87? Or both?

Re: question on a dash swap

Im doing the resto on the 92. and the 92 is a lot nicer than the 87s dash. but thanks for the info, and the 92 got to much of a project( im only 17) so if you know anyone who may want some 92 RS parts(exceptions to the ones im swapping) let me know, im trying to sell parts. thanks guys

You are parting out a 92 RS?

Re: question on a dash swap

The shell is in alaska right now. so itll be expensive to ship down, like $1000 but i just repainted the engine compartment and the interior with POR15 paint, so thats pretty much new. But if someone wants the shell and is willing to pay the shipping price they can have the shell. i dont want to see it crushed but its my only option at this point.
