Hey I would be more than happy to participate in the sub GB but the shipping to Australia would be a bitch

the radio is yours(PM me)

and thanks for the links, ill tackle this after the engine swap, i wasnt sure if the heater controls could be moved , question answered!! i dont think id put plastic around it though, carbon would look better.

now i need to find out which companies play divx, and have built in nav

P.S. i agree the e30 dash shows its age, id like to switch to a e36 dash that i no of lieing around, but has anyone tackled this? i no the VW guys do this all day long....

anyone have any links how to pull the heater controls out without breaking anything?

Didn't even know that was possible??? Details anyone? Or is it some ridiculous custom ordeal to get it to fit? I'm guessing it is...

I would say that an E36 dash is about 6" wider than an E30s.

Just guessing here, but I think it just might require some fabrication.

If you took the time to read the info on the link, you would have read that he doesn't get full deflection (full open or close) of the controls. I sure that could be worked with.

I love the e30 dash. The only dashes that are better imo are the F1 and e39

Yeah I should have made that a bit clearer
I DO get full vent open and close movement
I DON'T get full button movement
Without the lever setup on the back, full vent flap travel is arrived at with half the button travel. (Think back to your basic physics classes at school re levers)

Hopefully that is a bit clearer

What I do want to do is change the vent control to a solenoid setup with push buttons mounted near the headlight switch and change the slide button part of the HVAC fascia to an ashtray/cointray

when you do that let me no, sliders are so 1990's...
