Stroking it...

As the title suggests.. I am looking at putting my black Fairmont dash into my fairmont wagon.. Both are Series II
I have done a heaaaap of searching, but can't find anyone who has done a straight swap of the dashes.. Can anyone tell me if it's JUST the dash I will need to swap? Reakon I can knock it over in an afternoon by myself? Dash Will already be out of the sedan.. I am not sure I want to go through with it, as I don't have time for niggling problems, but I realllly miss my black dash.. And if I do the swap I have a reason to let my T series Fascia find it's way in there too..

From what I have read and heard yes it should just be a straight swap. Although the only thing I am unsure on is if there will be slight differences in the BEM from the Fairmont Sedan to Wagon as this may mean you have to swap the BEM other than that all should be good to go. 99% of the problems are with going from Low series up to the high series.

Pulling a dash out and in is not that big a job. Well worth it so long as your happy with the black on grey
