Default sn95 dash in a fox

So I decided to make a post with the question. Who has info on doing this? I think it looks pretty good from what Ive seen. I would like to see pics and the whole nine yards if I could. Any fitment issues, or does it basically bolt right in??

yeah lots of cutting, custom brackets.

i think with some double checking and measuring it could be done fairly easy with less headaches.

i like the look too

never knew the foxes could actually use something off the SN95's interior-wise lol

^^ You can do a complete swap of the whole interior. The dash will fit but you will need to do some cutting at the top if it, also, it will stick out because of the angle of the windshield. I am not sure how many brackets you will have to make but I know for a fact that theres a few. You will have to relocate your door handles, which makes custom panels unless you dont mind the big hole where the hold one used to be. The dash actually covers up the handle on the stock panel because it sticks out so far. The center console, etc. you wont have a problem with though. Also, I have seen a few of these swaps and on each on neither of them had their kicker panels in so that might be a problem there also. Check out modularfox.com. There are a few people on there who have done the swap and there are a few pictures on there that you can check out. Its a lot of work but its definetly an awsome swap. I was going to try this in my 88 but Im selling it sooooo scratch that idea

very do-able, nothing is supposed to be hard, just tedious.

you have to make some custome brackets
heard you have to move heater core too.
move interoir door handles back
have to trim back side of sn95 dash about 4" - just make template from old dash.
center console is supposed to fit perfect.
HVAC and guages supposedly splice together same color wire to same color wire.

I think you can use sn95 kick panels too, and just trim them to fit also.
I dont think the orginals cover the new hole right
