i finally finished trimming the dash to fit in my Rocco. I had to cut about 3-4 inches off. As of now I just screwed the sides of the dash in. I got it trimmed pretty close.
I need to find a couple more mounting points. The top needs to come up about an inch. BTW I used the rocco dash as a template to figure out how much of a curve I need the trim the dash. Im still trying to locate g60 swtiches, MFA out of a rocco or early A2 and some other stuff. I tryed to see if the rocco switches would work in the dash. But they are about 1/2mm too long. I guess I can make them work if I have to. But I dont think the headlight switch would fit. Since its bigger than all the other switches. I tryed to fit the G60 tilt steering column but it doesnt fit. If I wanted to do alot of welding I guess the A2 pedal bracket and steering column bracket would work. But I dont have access to a welder nor do I know how to use one. Anyway here are a couple of pics of the progress. I'll have more updates later.

Re: Update 2(g60 dash) (hoodita)

The only reason I decided to do this is cause my rocco wont be coming out of my garage till this december. So I have plenty of time to do whatever. So by Dec. im hoping to have either a new 1.8 or 2L16v plus some engine mods, suspension,G60 brakes,and a bunch of other stuff. O and im going to take the stock seats out and get a pair of Sparco Milano's(hopefully). BTW I think the only way im going to get gauges in where the cluster is suppossed to go is make a custom panel with custom gauges. Its going to take me a while to figure that part out.

Re: Update 2(g60 dash) (hoodita)

Went to the local VW jy this morning. There's a 90-ish G60 shell there with most of the dash trim and switches still in it (IIRC)... Gauge pod is still in it as well...
I'll try to help if I can. I'm in New Mexico.
Oh, and good job fitting the dash! Very cool...

Re: Update 2(g60 dash) (hoodita)

well I mounted it up better. The dash isnt going anywhere. Now all I need is the rest of my parts. Plus I need to dye the dash black so it matches the rest of the interior.
