Converting my T5 van to T6 include Dashboard

[Amin]

hello all I have Australian registered 2005 T5 Multivan with 343000, I bought written off T6 Multivan 2019 with only 15,672 KM and I am going to use my T5 shell and put all parts from my unregistered T6 Myltivan .

I am going to transfer
Engine with gearbox
dashboard with cables and computer
all internals
suspension system and all electronics and mechanics parts

please any recommendation or any one has experience in this job

Just be methodical don’t cut corners, swap over everything electrical unles you know 100% interchangeable, also make sure before that the t6 has no issues apart from body work, I would replace any of the typical mechanical issues whilst engine is out, make sure cambelt is free from debris ( I would change if the engine is out ) as the damage is that side by the looks of things, regarding looms don’t take in face valve that they look similar they will be the same, I had a crap job years ago someone done similar with a Mercedes and it would not run it turned out they had not swapped the dash looms and through year change Mercedes had moved the location of the resisted loom, take pics for reference of how things are and routed masking tape is great for labelling wires, how I would attack it would be to strip the t5 and then start transferring over the new stuff so you have a clear working area

Thanks for your advice but I had question please
If I want to take the engine, suspension and gearbox out off a t6 and put it in a t5 does it all fit the same or is there a difference in the way it's mounted
