hey guys ive seen photos of this but carnt find the answers i want... is this as easy or a straight fit,mods to the dash?

cheers rick

bump... need info

I havent done it but...

I would get the tape measure out and then be prepared to trim to shape and make mounting brackets to suit.

if you have seen it done, it can be done.

Personally I have never liked the new dash swaps into the 1200. A good condition coupe dash, or stock dash fitted with a tacho looks way better imho

There was a Burnt orange 1200 ute done this way at sumernats about 5-7 years ago that I saw and likes.
I did buy a Starlet dash once to try to get it to fit but abandoned the program (abandoned the ute build not just the dash - moved onto Coupes).
The Starlet dash is too wide so needs to be narrowed (Not too hard), but also too deep (No room between steering wheel and dash). I think I have some photo's of it at home (I will check tonight and upload them if I do). I remember it looking pretty good in there though.
Major issues would be to re-attach the ends of the dash and create new vents for the demister.

Like Wardy said, I too now prefer the original 1200 dash pad and like to play with different facia designs to get a more modern feel.

I like it... Love new stuff going into old stuff..sorry they call that "retrotech" these days.

yeah thats the one.
I forgot to look up the photos last night.
To get the dash to sit so far back from the steering wheel, you need to cut away the windscreen vents section.
Therefore for compliance on the street you would need to retrofits some vents.
