I know of a S5 with blown coolant seals and was wondering if The size of the S5 Dash is close to that of the FB(81-83 style)?Anyone know?

the fc dash has the door panels wrap around into it, other than that i think it might fit, its real close

The door panels go into the sides of the dash don't they?I think it might still work tho.It would make a wierd install thats for sure.Just pondering.I know I can sell the S5 exterior panels.I could sell enought off it to make my money back and still try it.

Are the screw locations similar mike?To mount it?

Anyone?I need to know how close the screws are to mount this to a FB body.

I have seen pics of it being done, lost the web page though. It fits, but it is ugly as all hell LOL, just an FYI

yeah it bolts in almost the same



mike

I've seen the S5 instrument Cluster put in, but not the whole dash. It's way too big. Why are you even thinking this? The 84/85 Dash is one of the nicest ever made.

i think the miata might fit, but its not a huge change

Theres none here wrecked.This S5 has only one thing wrong with it and thats the coolant seals.Its a GXL and the guy wants $1000 for it

i have a 89 gtu i would sell you for $700 but i would whant the engine out of it but everything else on it is good from what i know and there is no damage to the dash at all nearly perfect..

I can get the GXL for cheaper. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

well actualy $400 now becouse i took the seets out and put them in my fb https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

and i think i am going to sell the engine with the car...

Too bad I live in canada

is there any special dye or anything to change the color of the dash?

You can get a interior dye that comes in a spray can.

well since i too have a fc sitting colecting weeds... have you got any luck on seeing how well it will fit??? this would be a cool look for my 82 just need to color the dash black.. the fc is blue on blue interior.... i put the seats in my fb maybe the dash will go next?

don't forget the FC dash is over 40 lbs.

Still debating whether or not to buy the car.I already have to 7's out in my yard.
