Door Panel Swap

[kevinspann]

Well, i tried to search but couldnt find anything.

Can a Gen 2 door panel be swapped into a gen 1?

And how difficult is it?

 

[BAD97LSC]

yes it can, it will bolt right on just like the gen 1 panel, the hard part will be cutting all the switch plugs out of the gen 2 and figuring out how to wire them to your gen 1 to make all the door switches work. i have black interior in my 93, and a pair of gorgeous black 97 panels, next time i get a 2nd gen in, im cutting all the plugs i need to do the swap. so i'll find out how bad its gonna suck!!!

[BAD97LSC]

Ah, cool~

Does anyone know where to find the door wiring diagrams for the 93-96 and 97-98 doors?

 

[BAD97LSC]

most likely in the service manuals, some guys on here have them maybe someone will be kind enough to post those specific pages out of them.

And me.

I have the front and rear panels from a 97, plus the front and rear seats.

Like Jamie said just a bunch of do it your self wireing, the windows are easy just match the color's up, the locks are not.

Just have a wire diagram from a 97 and a 94 and it's prity simple.

Did you put the seat skin and foam onto your Gen 1 tracks?

 

[mespock]

Send a PM to GMAN he's done it.

 

[Markviiiedrea]

yup, just roll the leather up off the gen II seats, do the same for the gen I and swap the foam and reinstalll gen II leather. I have to do another one, I will be sure to do a write up on it.

Markviiiedera that interior looks great. Makes me want to forget about the maintence items I need and convert my interior to black lol.

 

[Markviiiedrea]

thanks, I did have to forget the real problems just because I wanted this interior.

I think that I kinda like the gen 1 door panels a bit more as well. I like everything about the Gen 1 more except for the neat neon tail lamp, I have always thought it was very cool looking.
