Although the Vanagon dash in exceptionally easy to repair.......
                 MAN ARE YOU W r o n g!
  This is a case where a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
  Learn about engines, then tackle the hard stuff. The dash of
  a car. It's filled with stuff: pumbing, wiring, wiper stuff, freon,
  pedel assemble, steering, duct work, cable to run stuff.

  I once took on a heater core in a 78 ford, ended up with
  the front seat out, the rear of the trans. dropped, and then
  resorted to cutting the dash sheet metal.
               GOOD LUCK!
