dash question

ok, so i'm planning on doing a lot of conversions to my car, in the goal of a lowcost exotic, and i've been contemplating a mk7 dash, just stripping out the harnesses i dont need.  however i had a chance to look at a fox continental up close today, and i dare say the dash has a nice look to it. 

i know the mk7 dash will physicall fit, but will need brackets put in place. 

does anyone know if the continental dash will bolt right in?  it looks not very different from my current 83 dash, just different enough to push the higher end look i'm going for.

Screw you Ford... I'm going to get a ranger riding a mustang to restore your focus on the expedition needed to escape from the edge of bankruptcy.

it should fit. it is a fox body. undoubtibly there will be mods to be made, but if you can put an sn 95 dash in you certainly can put the conti dash in. good luck and pics
