B7D VR 35 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Has Anyone Swapped Mk3 VR Dash For A Mk1 TT One ? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I suppose it's not impossible. No doubt it will require some serious fabrication with heater box / air con and position of handbrake etc.. May be different, not for the faint hearted!

cornishvr6 52 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Will keep an eye on this as I have most of this to undertake in the next few weeks, with the handbrake being offset in the tt has the handbrake been moved and re welded into position?

cornishvr6 52 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 How's the dash going? Do you know how they have got around the tt handbrake being offset? Did the mounting points need relocating and welding? Sorry for all the questions I'm about to start my swap next weekend :-) Link to post Share on other sites
