Dash Replacment

[TheFox]

I found a dash out of an 87-89 mustang I was told by people it will work and i had everything tore apart only to find it didn't fit. I was told if you change the support brace in the back it will work?? Got me any way. If so idiot wouldn't try taking something apart he didn't know how i would'nt be replacing it.

I dont know if the braces are the same but I can tell you that once the dash is removed, the brace on takes an extra 10-15 minutes to remove.

 

[TheFox]

Yeah it didn't look like it would take that long just got discouraged.... But I really wanna bring her back from all the damage this guy did. Just need to know what I need to change.

What year are you putting this dash into?

 

[TheFox]

THe Dash is going into a 1990 Mustang GT Hatch...

It should fit fine. I have a 90-93 style dash in my 88 and it went right in without swapping the dash support braces

Where exactly is it not fitting

 

[TheFox]

It seems like the sides of the braces on mine are hitting or too big?? Any easy way it can go in with the brace attached i mean it just seems smaller or something.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Any reason why you are not using a 90-93 dash?

 

[TheFox]

The dash is in really good shape and its hard to find the 90-93 in my area. Otherwise I would...

Well, it should still bolt on the same onto the rusted metal frame. There might be a few screw holes missing, plus you will need an 87-89 center console, HVAC controls and the airbag column trim will not match correctly. Also, you'll have to relocate the fuse box.
