lets see those dashs!

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

I wish I had the extra cash to buy it back but we have a baby on the way so no more toys right now.

I like the minimalist look, you really pulled it off there. My dash is coming together now, and it is the most convoluted thing I have ever seen, rivaled only by the wiring behind it. I havent pikced up a drill yet, but I finnaly have schematic. Some great ideas in there, but a few that are just rediculous. Ill share the schematics later, because I built in something that will kill the engine if you lose oil pressure. I thought it a good feature for those of us with original galley plugs in there.
give a man a watch and he'll allways know what time it is. give him two and he can never be sure again.

Things are rarely just crazy enough to work, but they're frequently just crazy enough to fail hilariously.

So is this a very subtle hint that youve picked up your car for the "ultimate baja"??

Man...for that price, if that was in SoCal, I'd have my 2nd baja! 8)

Wow Desertguy! That is one awesome dash! You should post pictures of the rest of that rig. I bet everyone would like to see it.
