Yeah, Notice not only the spelling (which I dropped them an email 
about, but also they are only listing 78-78 as a year range. Sounds 
like thats all that they had a hand on, at least at the time the web 
page was created.

I'd love to drop off a dash from the wrecking yard and have it redone, 
(Including the glove box door to match).

So, while 600 bucks is a lot, it means it's going to be a dash that 
won't crack going forward (or at least not for a long, long time), and 
replicates the OEM pattern.

Still, the difference between the $300 and $600 makes the hybrid dash 
swap more likely. I'm going to go look at the A2 GTI in the backyard 
again.

Q) Is Mk1 dash removal as simple as pulling the steering wheel, a few 
screws holding it to the fire wall, and pulling the center console (& 
disconnecting the heater controls)?

If so I'll be pulling mine to dabble with a little bit.
