I'd pay that much for an un-cracked Green typ81 dash if anyone has one... ;-)<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=7907672201&amp;ssp agename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT">Link to finished e-bay auction...</a></li></ul>

Default WHAT A RIPOFF!!!! I paid $85. for mine, got it straight from Germany!!!

This cover was also used on Audi "80" taxis!!
I took off the "sunvisor" from my old cover and glued it on the new one. I also had to make a "guage panel" because the original panel was cutout for the taxi meter!
This was the main reason I replaced my old cracked dash with one from the same era (thanks to "GT style")!!

Default I think if I ever do a turbo swap I'll go with SPA Technique gauges

They're 2 gauges in 1 so just replace the 3 in the console and get 6 readings.

Default Yep

<a href="http://www.spatechnique.com/dualgauges/tachometers.htm">Spa Technique dual gauges </a>
Probably $$$ but damn they look nice, and programmable too.
I'd probably go with
oil pressure/temp
fuel pressure/volts
boost/EGT

Default Painting my side window trim this weekend....

Thanks for the invite though. When I am done with school and start actually making money instead of borrowing it, I'll try and be less antisocial.
BTW there's a cgt in portland on Autotrader classics for $850, I know you were trying to find a Q in Canada though.

Default Re: Painting my side window trim this weekend....

Thanks for the heads up, but I need to sell of some CGT's instead.

I mainly want to get a Q now so that I'll be ready for winter.
