First "new guy" question - Dashpad

Post by Rarecat »

Are the dashpads the same for the 85 Mustang and Capri? I don't want to waste 200 bucks at 50Resto for the wrong part

Thanks!

Yeah. Be aware that the dash pads sold are not the greatest. They don't fit well and the colors don't match the best. You might want to troll ebay and throw $100-$150 on a good used dashpad and dye/paint it.

If you get a used one, remember 83 and earlier cars have their center mounting point over the gaugees moved.
