most things are possible but you would have to probably make ya own dash bracket thingy from a tg into it...i would just keep the te dash coz it will save ya all the hassles |

Yep possible, seen it done before to a TD coupe with TG dash.
Its a headfuck of a job though since you need to basically graft the TGH dash mountings into the TD/TE body, then theres the wiring and stuff.
Possible but a bit load of work involved.
Personally I love the older TD/TE dash, actually looks more modern and smooth. |

you have to cut the mount out of a tg (the one that runs along the bottom of the window) the cut the td-te mount out, and tack weld the tg one in. (you will have to remove the front window to do this)
you have to change the heater box as the tg dash has side vents and MOST td-te dont
then you need to put a tg wiring loom in.
then you have to change the upper half of the steering column to the tg model
cunt of a job.... |
