    WTT or FS Mint Pre-airbag dash

    not one crack anywhere i can see, and everything is where it's supposed to be.

    i have an airbag car, and rather than modifying it to make it work i want a similarly crack free airbag dash.

    i'd be happy to sell it but i just would much rather swap it.

    i should get some pictures up soon. shoot me a pm!

    the dash isn't any different , it's the same on air bag and not air bar car.

        Are you sure about that jean? I took my new dash out of an airbag car and it had and extra bracket on the drivers side.

        Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

          The bracket is not part of the dash...

                    The dashboard is the same, those brackets are added on to the metal "tabs" off the dash, they aren't one piece....

                    Same dash... the early dash for 318 cars is different though.. it has a hole in the top center for o2/airbag light.

                            i hope you are referring to the cat's, since there are not any on the dash.

                            and if you are referring to the dash please tell me where you see one, so i can reshoot that spot.

                              If you're installing a non-airbag dash into an airbag car, you also have to mod the foam to add the four speed nuts to properly secure the airbag knee bolster, but it's not a big deal. I just did this two weekends ago.
