300 body bits on a 200

[adrian s3109]

does anyone know how much possible it is to fit a 300 dash on a 200 body? ...is it doable electrics wise? ...i might get a complete 300 body but i'm not that willing to go all the way and take off mine since its still in good shape. I was more thinking of getting bits and pieces from it into mine instead like dash, front lights, door mirrors etc etc. Also mine is an early 2dr version with levering forward front seat... would the seats of the 300 4dr fit on instead of mine?

thanks...any info and help is welcome

Quite a few of the electrics are different. You would need to completely rewire the instrument cluster, perhaps the immobiliser too.

oh i see... then the dash replacement is definitely a no... too much work :(

anyone knows about the seats maybe?

I have always been led to believe the dash swop cannot be done,mainly because of the heater? Saying that I have heard loads of things that cannot be done,which can!
Seats will swop,3dr mounts are different than 5dr though

Oh and mirrors need different holes drilled in door tops or change the door tops/door,wiring plugs can be made to fit.Headlights mounts/adjusters need the holes in front panel modifying,plusthe bracket off the 300 wing to mount up the 'hockey stick'.Bumpers are easy,just the wires needing run down to the rear lights.Steering wheels dont swop over

thanks mate... very very helpful

i appreciate

now i know where i would stand.... IMO i think i'm better off buying what ever i require instead of getting the whole package just to be able to take just a few parts out of it.

thanks again
