Evening all, new to the site but have had a quick look around.
I'm not a mechanic, the most taxing thing I've done so far is replace the auxiliary belt and tensioner. That said, I bought my Ziggy with the intention of working on it over time and learning more about cars.
There is quite a bit I'm looking to update, was thinking about getting a donor car and doing some direct replacements. I was wondering: I have a 2009 59 Zig, what can be done in terms of replacing bits from, say, a 2014+ model? Are there any major gotchas I need to consider? What about the different sub-models such as Grand Sport?
Internally, I'm wondering if the dash and centre console can be lifted from a Facelift and dropped in place? I've read that I'll need to get the dash display re-coded, my guess is that won't be too tricky. Will there be any significant wiring issues? Will the damn thing fit?
Externally, and a little stranger, would a 2014 hatchback door fit my 2009?
This car will not be sold on, it's all about building a car I'm more happy with at this stage in its life. More fun, more personal. Was hoping this forum might have some likeminded individuals with more nouse than I have that would throw a nugget or two of experience my way.
