Went out to look at a Cabrio, bad shape, bad top, yuck... No go... So
driving home I pass one of those corner car lot type places and see a black
90 VW Fox... Hrmmm  stopped in and asked if I could take it for a ride, did,
loved it, bought it... Lol, new toy.  Needs some work, has some rust
underneath, but it's a fun car to drive and the price was right. At $700 if
it lasts 6 mos it's cheaper than financing!

After buying the car I pass another little car lot that had a cabrio in
front, again, bad shape, bad top... But there's a huge junkyard behind the
place so I ask if he's got any Vanagons, thinking Yeah right... But he says
yeah, there's 2 back there somewhere... So I go and find a pretty decent
1996 Vanagon 7 seater with a brown interior like my wolfy and with an engine
and the tell tale empty head gasket packages under the passenger seat, under
the drivers seat was a mint jack, jack bag, and tools.  I pull the
instrument cluster because it's got a tach, pulled all the grab handles, the
rear heater switch, hazard switch, climate control sliders, dash light
bulbs, map pockets, dome lights and glove box light.  Then I see a 72 Westy
pop top with the top sticking up and grab more brown grab handles and dome
lights!      I walk out with all of this for $50, which I consider a pretty
good deal since it all works and it's all in mint condition! And get this!
Both vans have all 4 chromedome hubcaps which I'm goin back for tomorrow
with my hubcap puller...

Heh... Good day eh?

So, question is... What do I need to install this instrument cluster with
the tach?  How do I install a tach into a non-tach Vanagon?

Thanks!
