here ya go, the real photos look a tad better than camera phone shots of a computer monitor 
the dash you will need to get reskinned which depending who does it is a bit over the $350 mark
have fun with it and dont be afraid to get your hands dirty

Fire Extinguisher! Knew something was missing lol. Actually have two in my Kombi though have never in 20 years needed them (yet) So what Dash do you
have Bianca?. The 71 I just purchased has the Porsche dash which I quite like and will keep. Not so keen on the wide wheels on mags or the steering
wheel but hey lots more to do before worrying too much about that.

the guy who had it before me must have been a bit of a rev head because hes made a lot of changes from original
new racing wheel, racing stick, skull shaped lock pulls, cd player tyres and carrera body kit
aiming to eventually restore it to original but at the moment just starting with the safety stuff and necessities
first up is new seatbelts and it seems ill have to get a fire extinguisher too... fairly scared about this whole catching on fire bizzo actually. oh
and the skull shaped lock pulls are definately definately gone.
i dont know what dash i want cause this is my first car but probs looking at one exactly the same as i have now but in good nick
