interior swap on 84 244 200

i'm going to swap the interior from an 84 245 into an 84 244. a few questions.
will the back seat bottom from the wagon fit into the sedan? how about the back seat seat back (i don't think so)?
how difficult to swap out the dash itself?
do the inner door panels with manual crank windows accommodate power windows, other than the armrests?
about how much time should i set aside to do the job if all goes fairly as planned?
thanks in advance for any comments.

interior swap on 84 244 200

I switched the interior from a 1983 245 to a 1982 244 and had no real trouble The back seat did give me some trouble but i fixed that drove some moolies in to the back through the trunk and used some U - bolts for the bottom back is far easier any questions I would be happy to help

Eric,
None of the rear seat will work, the dash is easy, see my site for a bunch of pics of the process and instructions, I've done it to all 3 of my 240s.

The door panels will go from manual to power windows with slight modifications the other way does not work due to gaping holes that the manual window armrests do not cover, these holes are already in the fibreboard backing of the door panels and just need to be carefully uncovered to add the power window armrests. You will also have to make a hole for the front screw the power window armrests use.

If you're just doing seats, carpet, door panels and dash figure a leisurly short day, if you have all the parts to do a complete color change (BTDT 2X 244 and 245) figure a good long day.
Cheers
Dave
