    Default Backdating wiring question

    Is it possible to put a 86 Dash assembly into a 1988? Is it a matter of re-pinning the cluster connector? Or will I need to bring over the whole 86 wiring harness. If I can secure a car I am working on getting it is a 88 but I ill make it look like a 86 bumper, quarter windows, seats dash the works.

    The entire wire harness is very different. You have a different instrument cluster, different steering column multi function switch, different HVAC controls, different headlight switch. Basically nothing interchanges or is a direct bolt on.

    Also please make sure to read this thoroughly: http://www.foureyedpride.com/content.php?145-about-us FEP does not promote the updating of Four Eyes to the Aero look nor the backdating of an Aero to look like a Four Eye as explained in the Tenants.

    Sorry Trey, I forgot about that rule. I have a rusty 85 coupe that I am looking at every option to get a better base to build on. I apologize
