Mesoam Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 good work, make sure you use some felt on the seams (helps with noise e/t/c) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(n)A-GAME Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Well, if you can't find anything else, I've got a tan dash in perfect shape you can have for super cheap. Two tone is the new pegs on VS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdlimy Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Well, if you can't find anything else, I've got a tan dash in perfect shape you can have for super cheap. Two tone is the new pegs on VS. 2 tone is the new pain in my ass lol, nah i have a full 2k v70r interior going in it so that would be a bit of a pita. as for the felt on the seams, what seams? like the top plastic peice that follows the windshield( the peice i cut) im already going to put felt on that or some kind of trim to clean up the cut, although you can barely see it at all. i was very suprised to see that the entire ventilation system is identical on the x70 as the 850s.

mdlimy Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'll bet yours won't rattle too. ill do my best =P someone help me out with this wiring situation, the v70 dash main harness plug on the driver side is like 4 or 5 plugs that plug into one big harness plug, the 850 is one big plug, i need a pin out for both harnesses so i can splice them.

Young Burnsy Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Try this for the 850. http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/downloads/Volvo_850.zip It might be in there. I'm still trying to figure out where what you are looking for might be in here. I'll find the S70 diagram in a sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
