It is, but you have to relocate the heaterbox.

Even if it was easy to do, why would you want too?

There's a Red one round here with the same Dash

Mental

Wow - looks fookin shite

there was one at Santa Pod this year

Why?

The dash is the worst thing about the e36, I love the e30 dash. I you were going to all that effort you
Might aswell stick an e46 one in as it's about a million times nicer than the e36.

They've even kept the gash wood trim

its the Germans version of a ford ka dash

I like the more modern clocks and the 568 button OBC... plus what's the round hole for in the centre console by the handbrake...

Except the e36 pre dated the ka by several years. Maybe the ka was fords version of an e36 dash ;)

Love the way he hasn't worked out how to make the kick panels or screen pilla trims work yet?

dash conversions are awsome see them all the time on the vw scene. but why swap an e30 for an e36 lol e30 is much nicer

Its a cup holder, because only a gay would do this to an E30

I think the favourite dash swap for golfs is an E30 dash is it not?

WRONG

TT dash or mk4 dash in mk2 or 3's

They look better with E30 dash hard to find one without cracks now though

e30 dash's are smart in the vws agreed

all the crackless dashes are in the mint examples owned by zoners really aren't they. the old rs turdbo's all have rippled a pillar trims and a cracked dash as standard too. Why do they crack and split? Heat from the sun?

hehe hadn't noticed that

You gotta have a serious button fetish to want that dash.... "Houston: We're starting the engine" click-click-click-click

If you want to look at an E36 dash whilst driving,buy a bloody E36,simples!

e36 dash in an e30 is like getting Paris Hiltons clothes off to find Fern Brittons tits lurking underneath..

On the other hand, your car looks lovely! Any more photos i could see?

I put a corrado dash into my MK2 golf.

Then I go annoyed with a rattly pain in the arse, so I ripped it out and put a mk2 dash back in.

Thought that was rank so put a MK4 polo one in there.

That was shite and made of recycled coffee cups so ripped that out and fitted a corrado one properly.

That time it involved fabrication of a support for a full adjustable corrado steering column, fibreglass heater pipes, custom wires for the heater controls and a FULL loom swap from early to late spec to make the clocks work properly.

What a twat I was at 21!

Looked good though.......

Jai

he could of bought an e36, they come with one

I was just thinking the same

I do like that centre armrest though-is that E36?

Looks Awful!

M52's and S50's also come with one............

Guys so it's fine to do all theses engine conversions but not a dash... you can't have it both ways! really it's a personnel choice.

you don't have to look at an engine.

people are just giving their opinions, and clearly the vast majority who have responded don't like the e36 dashboard.

and yes, it is a personal choice, which is why i'd rather leave e36 dashboards in e36s, and e30 dashboards in e30s. crazy i know

I would never even consider a dash swap in an E30, just thought id raise the point about the engine.

I look at mine.

an engine conversion generally has a purpose. to make the car faster at what theyre designed to do.
changing a dash wouldnt even feature in the top 100 list of tings to do for me. utterly pointless. each to his own i suppose.
