Almost everything mechanical is going to be interchangeable.  Almost nothing
cosmetic or interior will be an easy swap, except for the seats.

I am not sure about the Corrado, but Mk2 seats are an easy fit in Mk1
Roccos.  I guess if Corrado seats fit in Mk2 Roccos....................

Yes.

Unless you got $800 for one from the dealer I would say the kind of covers
they sell at http://www.dashboards.com are a good idea.

There are euro bumpers, however they are insanely expensive.  Autotech used
to carry what they called "Euro" lights for the Mk1 that were big square
things and didn't look all that hot IMHO.  Don't know about the cabby
bumpers, anyone else?  Several people used to carry H1/H4 conversions for
the Mk1, but I don't know who still carries them.  JATO and delta wings
would be really cool, but be serious, the first time you left the car alone
in a grocery store parking lot some old lady would door the wings with her
Crown Vic, or some kids would stuff garbage in the jet intakes.  As for the
flux capacitor, if you find one bring it up here and I'll help wire it in,
hell I'll even buy the vodka that is so crucial for such installations.

>sorry guys i must admit my stupidity of never paying serious
>attention to all the mk1 parts posts and stuff.

See how you are!

>will a mk2 dash fit in a mk1?

It has been done, but it is not easy and the results I have seen have been
less than wonderful, I think the curvature at the base of the windshields is
different between the Mk1 and Mk2.

>uhhh will the struts from a mk2 fit a mk1? stress bars? sway bars
>from a 16v fit on a mk1..oh wait thats added weight...hehehe

Yes to the struts, yes to the lower front and rear stress bar, no to the
upper front, yes to the anti-roll bars.
