still striving for that 'factory modified' look 8)

She could get even cleaner my Friend,
Rear wipers coming off, full debadge could be on the cards, aswell as removing
the hood washer jets and fitting spray bars to the wipers.

I have a 93 that came with the same dash you have and did the swap.

I would send you one but I don't have access to a RHD dash.

I would like to get my hands on one of your passanger door panels that has the "pull" handle. That way I could have matching door panels. I would just loose my master power switch.

Get this idea from me did you ;)

Well, you still need to keep the box to retain function of the windows. I'm sure you found my wiring for the controls on that door pannel. It's not a big deal, it's definitely much easier to reach over and push the button on the passenger side than it would be toreach over and use a manual crank, lol!

I had an idea I never got around to it, but put a hidden/stealth secondary switch to change your new drivers side "passenger" switch to switch controls between controlling the drivers side and the passenger side window. If and when you get around to it, shoot me a PM if you need help on that.

the RHD mx-3's only had one dash, no bubble dash, that's why

That's a great idea about a secondary switch and yah, I did get the idea from you lol. After all its a Japanese car and needs to be uniform. :D

Nice! Glad to see someone else who has done this. Some Japanese importers carry body parts and that’s where I got mine. My car never had power windows so when I installed them I just used two passenger switches with no master control. Nice and clean.

Good work love to see your progress. when are you going to swap out that stock B6 or are you planning on tweaking it with like matching cams and such.
