Hey,
I'm thinking about swapping out the interior in my 1987 5.0 LX hatchback and putting in interior from another car that looks bettter. Right now my interior is faded and some pieces don't look the best. I was thking of swapping out everything but the dash, but might end up doing that. Haven't taken a whole dash out, but have taken things around it out. Is it really hard to swap it out? Could I get the interior out of any LX or GT from 1987-1993? There's people selling cars for parts that have good interiors in them and interiors all ready ripped out of cars in the Want AD and such pretty much every week. I want to start looking for something so that hopefully around christmas time when I will have time off from school I can swap it, but need to know exactly what I can use before I start. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I've seen an SN95 dash swapped into a fox before. It looked pretty sharp, but wasn't a direct swap. Otherwise, pretty much any Fox interior will fit. The closest being 79-86 and 87-93, but sometime within that period (around 91 or so), the rear side pannels changed a little. But not a problem as long as you get both sides.

Some interior revisions in 1990, for that reason I advise finding 87-89 interior peices for an 87-89, and 90-93 for 90-93 interior.

The parts in question are the steering column and instrument panel, rear quarter panels and shoulder belts (pre 90 had lap belts only), and the sunshade-like trunk cover.

There were also different door panels as 90+ had map pockets, but those are a direct swap.

I believe the swiveling chrome maplight was eliminated in 92 in favor of the gayer ones found in most cars.
