Gierma Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 HiI am thinking of upgrading my Gal. I suppose many parts would fit from other cars (both Ford and VW group).Now the thing is, to get all replacements in one topic. I.e. somobody changed the steering wheel? Let us know which car it came from and was it plug&play or some work needed.How about doorcards? Will Mk2 fit Mk1? If not maybe dash or windows will?How about springs and brakes? Which ones can I use to get big-brake conversion?And so on I think such topic would ne useful, suppose would have to be at least 2 for Mk1 and Mk2. OK guys, 3rd for Mk3 as well :D Now tell me what you think Quote
mumof4 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 A lot of stuff on the MKI will not fit the MKII and vice versa..and the MKIII is a totally different kettle of fish as it is all Ford whereas the other two are not.. Interesting concept though. Nikpv deals with the FAQs, and there may already be some stuff like this in there. Quote
Gierma Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Posted July 31, 2007 It doesn't neccesaryli have to come from other Galaxies... but I was wondering about dash, door cards and windowsUpgrading my Pug 206 I was installing things from other 206, 307, but Citroen as well.Upgrading Fiat CInquecento my mate put lot of staff from cars as Lancia, Alfa, other Fiats... (it is now 1,6Turbo)It might be that steering wheel from VW passat will fit and somebody will prefer it. I just think having all unusual conversions in one place would help some others (like me :D ) Quote
mumof4 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 It is a good idea.... There are already some posts on what will fit from other cars.....will be a lot of work gathering them together from the technical section and putting them all in one place...i shall speak to nikpv and see what he thinks..He is away at the mo so i will have a search through. This idea of yours is a good one. Hmm...could also include what will fit on a vectra from a galaxy.lmao...just think..i could build myself a vexaly..lmao. Quote

I just think having all unusual conversions in one place would help some others (like me ;) ) Sounds a bit like my first car. It was a TRUE British Leyland Mini by the time it was finished.... Car started life as a 1961 Austin MiniEngine was replaced with one from a Morris MiniBrakes were off a Wolsey Hornet .... OK so all the bits so far are really "Mini", bit like Galaxy/Alhambra/Sharan ... then the "other leyland bits" Interior lights from a Mk2 JagWindscreen Washer pump from a Rover 3500Instruments from a Triumph 2000Indicator and Wiper stalks from a Austin 1100Fibreglass "Clubman" front from the local car accessory shop. Thas was a cool little car by the time I had finished. Was sad when I had to get rid of it :D Quote
