yes its possible BUT there may be some brackets that need to be changed
I have a Series 1 Golf GTI column and wheel in my 65 but took some mods to do it

It is mainly the two bolt mount below the speedo, easy to do.

If you want the column to sit properly you have to cut metal and weld in flat sections move the fuse box
bit of stuffing round but worth it
Other wise if wont sit right
