Well, how capable are you ? I just put an 85 padded black dash into a gorgeous 'light mist green metallic' 82 Diesel Westy < with 98 Impreza 2.2 engine > van, And it went it all right. Mostly mechanical work,. Lot of screws and stuff, but not rocket science. I think I used the two brackets that go alongside the master cylinder from an 85 rather than the 82 ones.........they seemed to fit better. But mostly it's nut and bolt work. I wonder if anyone will see this note and get anything out of it. Scott

Is this is a good idea? Is it a DIY or must I hire it out? If I do it, should I expect it to be apples to apples or will it involve lots of surprises if I don't buy another dash from an '82 Vanagon.
