CQ (And thus all B3/B4 cars) have some heavy **** dashes...

Finally got the dash pulled from the CQ, to make the wiring easier. The dash in the car is heavier than the larger 5ktq dash I. Lots more sound deadening material, heavier construction (not nearly as flimsy).

I'll take some pics of the rats nest tomorrow AM, I have a quick job to do on the 5kq I didn't get to today (replace the timing belt covers).

Wondered if you'd respond ;-)

I was definately surprised at how heavy it was. It's also amazing at how many wire ties and wire guides are in there. And its STILL a rats nest!
