So Im going for it...MKIV Dash into the MKIII

[ForcedTorque]

Phoenix..........I love your hands on attitude. I've enjoyed almost every thing that I have seen you post since you got here. You don't strike me as having anywhere near the knowlege to make this work, but BY GOD, if you get your mind set on it, you won't let that bother you. And, sooner or later, you will probably have something close to what you set out for.

With that said, think about it..............it's gonna be expensive, it's gonna be a pain in the ass, it may or may not turn out as good as you plan, and it may be great, and you just get tired of that too over time.

Think about the money you will have just in parts. $1000 for the dash, and near $500 for a cluster to start, and who know's what modifying it will cost. And, what if it takes more than 1 dash to get what you want. With $1500, you could easily do what Suprahero has done with his interior, and have money to do some mods to the new turbo motor. Some of those mods will come with nice lighted displays for your dash. You could get Da89Soup to give you paint instructions, and you could have new black leather/red stitching, and nicely matching painted parts to match.

You admit you have never even riden in a MKIV, and you haven't showed any evidence of any fitment measurement. You just say you want to do it. This doesn't seem like the recipe for success.

Well first off, I wanna thank you sincerley for the reply you have here. Especially noticing my efforts.

With that said I think you have helped me make up my mind here. You are right and are telling me from a friends point of view, not just skepticism. I think that would be the smarter choice. I will get to PMing those guys if they havent seen this one yet and ask them about that. I might be able to start next week even!!

Thanks alot man, I had no idea ANYONE really paid attention to anything I say much around here unless I make the topic or so, but thank you, alot.

And thanks again and AGAIN to everyone replying so far.

Refer to posts 52 and 53 respectively for Jay and Ryan. I doubt either one of them would have any problem with giving advise. Check Suprahero's build for what they did recently with Jay's interior (if you haven't already). It looks great, and I believe it will last a long while doing so.
