Hi Lee -

Welcome to the list!

I'm located in Maple Ridge, BC, and I've had pretty good results with Ron's 
Parts Inc, in Port Coquitlam (a short drive from Vancouver.) They wreck a 
ton of VWs, and when I was in their warehouse looking for a dash, I saw 
dozens of interior pieces...

The other thing that I'd suggest to you is the Buy&Sell, our local adpaper, 
also based in Vancouver. Check out www.buysell.com. Like I said, mostly 
Vancouver stuff, but you  might run in to someone who wouldn't mind 
throwing the stuff on the bus for you...

The dash job isn't as bad as you might think. Just take your time, and make 
sure that all of the bolts and screws are out before you begin reefing on 
it. My best, and likely everyone else's best advice to you would be to 
march on down to your Local VW dealer and get yourself a Bentley manual. It 
will become your bible. If you were in the States, or didn't mind paying 
duty/customs/GST/brokerage fees at the border, I'd tell you to get in touch 
with the Potterman, or Mark @ Adirondack parts. They are the two resident 
parts Gurus on the list.



Good Luck!


Greg
