Post RS2000 Dash

hey guys,

Would a Mk2 RS2000 dash fit in a Mk1?

If not, can you make it fit or would the effort needed to make it fit, not be worth it?

Cheers,

Aussie_Escort

Unless you replace the whole dash panel (which is welded in), wiring looms switches etc it wont.

Not really worth it.. If you want a Tacho etc get a MkI GT 6 dial cluster and the top to suit.

^^^ What he said. Too much work involved for little gain. Although I have seen a complete MK2 Escort interior (dash, center console, seats, front door trims) in a Mk1 Escort and it looked nice.

Cheers guys.

I was just wondering because I can get a hold of a complete Mk2 RS2000 interior, and i thought it would look 'bling' in a Mk1.
