I have just scored a complete Fairmont ghia dash for $80 except climate control module cluster and radio I bought it to cannibalise the harness to get some extra features working related to power aerial and mobile phone integration. we have been tossing up wether to go all out and fit the whole dash or just get what I want working.
for those who don't know my car It's a S3 XR6 HP with Fairmont Ghia doortrims and seats ( the seats are being partly retrimed to be similar to a TE50 blue black interior) and there is a fair bit of custom woodgrain what do you guys think?

Your mad not to do it. You will need either the gear off the heater box or the complete climate control heater box. On the S2 and S3 the wiring for the outside temp sensor etc is already in the car and behind the front bar. Its just not plugged into anything. |

I say no.
Only because it's an XR, if it were a pov pack, then yes.

That was my initial thought but the interior is now very different to a stock XR that I'm lees inclined to think that way , but still not 100% sure

If so, then it wouldn't matter so much as you can always restore it back to original if needed.
