I have never done this- personally dont know anyone who has, you may want to search for "Late interior swap" or similar criteria. There is one on Car Domain- but I cant seem to locate the profile.
AFAIK You would have to swap the entire dash, a lot of electrical, the speedo cable goes to the tranny vs the front hub, door cards- I'm sure a lot more- as I said I have not done this- not considered it.
Tod or George may have more info as they have parted a few, hopefully they will see this and comment.
Possible- anything is possible. difficult- I would imagine yes.

Ain't gonna work. You would have to change the entire dash including the A/C, wire harnesses center console and a bunch of other stuff. The you would discover that the early door panels do not match the later dash.

Ya know, it's not the dash I don't like, it's the yellow on black gauges. Is there someway of changing out the 944 gauges for the 924's white on black gauges? or does anyone make replacement faces in white on black? I'm not much a fan of black on white either, yea I know picky.

Too bad the factory never moved on the project to make it a 1989 model.
