I've never done it, but I believe you need to change the whole support frame as well.Originally Posted by auzzymussle
You will need to remove hx subframe and weld in hq , only way to do it as they are totally different.
Yep.
I knew a bloke that did it to his ute.... complete disassembly of the dash/firewall support area and re-welding a dash in from a donor car.
In his words..... "A nightmare".
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
Yeah have to agree. Even after getting the HQ dash support and ahh pedal hangers? in, there'd be days and weeks twisting under the dash to get it all hooked up, pretty crucial stuff too (brake light switch adjustment, demister pipes etc.. ). Difficult pretty yuck work. I'm sure you'd find on the way that you'd need a full donor HQ for everything under the windscreen to the floor too, not just the dash.
Interested though to know why you're thinking about doing this. If its just because you have an HQ GTS dash, and dont have an HX one, you might be better off doing a trade on dashboards, or even finding an HQ shell might be cheaper in the end.
could be quicker and finish up having a true job would be to take it to a panelbeater andgetting it cut and shut thru pillars and floor
