Caprice parts into HX Van?

[DionP]

Also consider the Caprice front doors as a complete swap over. They have impact intrusion bars and the factory speaker pods are located high which seriously improves the audio if you retrofit a modern 5.5 inch two way speaker into them. They also have central locking in them, electric windows as standard and night lights for entry/exit.

The front doors fit the HX? that would be great and save a fair bit of pain down the line. It's a Panel Van, so the stereo has to be ear-splittingly loud mate, that's the rule haha. If I fit the A/C, the doors with electric windows, lights etc, will I need to change out the wiring harness, or just wire up as I go.

The Caprice door harness will have plugs that end in the lower A pillar section so you could custom wire onto those as needed. The entire Caprice loom would work best, but only if you considered using the entire Caprice dash which may not be desirable if you love the GTS dash you already have. Most of the electrical trickery in the loom is intended for the Caprice dash so you might need to do a custom job to mesh in some of the really sexy extra bits.

The Caprice doors will fit but gaps may need massaging if your really anal. You may also need to fill in the rubber strip holes on the doors and grind off the little studs for the chrome trim if your not going to use it.

Haha, shit mate, what your really saying is it would be easier to chop the Van part off the HX and weld it onto the Caprice I will have to see how far I am going to go, but I can safely say, it won't be as far as the list you are starting to make. And yes you're right, that GTS dash ain't going anywhere
