Also noted that it's collection only..... bit of drive for you from Madrid!! ::)
-
I've got one here in Southern Spain but only the facia with the 4 dials. 7 euros. Didn't take the rest out before my lovely motor went to the yard! :y
-
I've got several of these & will happily post out to you.
If you are looking to do the conversion then it can be a bit of a challenge - so how about a special price for a pair - one to experiment on & the other to do the final job with.
Manual or auto as I guess you would want the gear selector/lever as well.
I'll dig out a picture and post of the conversion - it looks very good TBH.

Will they fit?

photos of mine including the ashtray bit on their way now. :y

yes - BUT.
the mountings for yours is different to the woody one. You will need to cut yout existing one and make it fit into the holes of the woody one.
The screws mounting yours are behind your dials - just pull them off and you will see. You need to preserve the mounting points and glue the outer circles into the woody bit.
Not a job for the faint hearted as you will sacrifice your old surround. Sharp tools, a dremel and glue needed.
Off to photobucket now - back in a mo.
The end result is very good - let me post a pciture.

As it happens, this car is actually sitting doing nothing awaiting being sold/broken.
Its a shame as I virtually re-built it a couple of years ago. I then sold it to a mate who has fallen on hard times and needs to sell it but cant get motivated.
He might take an offer for the console - but would want yours in exchange.
Interested?
You could even take the whole car off his hands. Its a '98 2.5 V6 auto CD estate in solid red. Leather, Bose, Carin, Xenons and masses of work done.
Its in Luton and going nowhere!

Rob I'm in Spain so can't take the car.... but "Varche" from the forum here lives in Spain and has the same dash in walnut as yours for sale but with the digital dials. And actually you've answered a question for me if they can fit my car. From your pic I see they do. Awesome ;)

Yes, but dont forget that the woody (actually its plastic) trim will need to have your plastic inserts added.
No change to the woody/digital ones - but your existing one will need to be sacrificed to make it happen. Good luck & just be careful with the sharp tools!
Does look blooming good though dosn't it ? 8-)

No. You will have to cut out the 4 circular controls with the heater controls on and glue them inside the circles for the new panel. Too small and you have a gap, too large and they wont fit.
Its not difficult but you will have to get it right 1st time - 4 times!
Suggest you get a spare old panel form a breaker and use that - keeping your real one for spare.
You will also have to make a small modification for the aircon switch. The ones with the digital display ALL have climate control - and the switch is different. Its easy to make the aircon switch fit - but cant recall whether I modified the switch itself or the panel. Its easy when you take it off and look.
Keep us posted :y

Robert...if thats the case then if your friend's is already prepared then i might be better of having them..... don't fancy doin surgery!!! But I might buy Varche's one too and see if I can get the digital dials to work...that project interestd me.
