iuts the same princable, get a mk1 dash with all the plugs, and some wire attached. then just wire in each plug as you go.

Personally i cannot comprehend why you would want to swap a lovely mk2 dash for a terrible mk1 bench thing

But, you will need to chop and swap each plug one by one from mk2 to mk1, you will possibly run into bother doing the rear wash wipe if you have one, but nearly all the wores should be colour for colour, for the headlight adjusters i would just hide the plug behind the dash and not try to do anything with it as youre running mk1 front end iirc so wont have any need for it, but personally i would say stick to the mk2 as for one, theyre better...

Theyre a much better dash, theyre better, oh and mk1 dashes are poo

at spudly , mark 2 dash is not an option as my car is an early mark 1 , ive had a nova with mk2 dash an im not overly excited about them plus the mk 1 undertray kicks ass , ive got dash where i can hold a 500 ml bottle of coke just sits nice in the magazine rack thing , where as gay ass mk2 jobbies you have to wedge your drink between the seat and the door card

So im guessing youve used a GSi loom in your mk1 then, and why dont you fit the mk2 dash undertrays as i used to keep 500ml bottles of lucozade on them and an mtb/total vaux mag fits perfectly on the passenger one, stop being ghey and fit a mk2 its easier

As above, drivers side undertray holds a 500ml bottle of coke perfectly. Bucket seats also hold everything perfectly, fit those instead

I can. Aside from the mk2 dash being made of better insulated materials, they suck. Everything on the mk1 dash is at hand. Mk2 requires far more leaning & reaching etc. The best thing about the mk1 is the positioning of the headunit, far better than the mk2's slanted, low down, nonsense.
