Well yeah, except you'll need to splice in the lights and stuff.

To do it right you will need to enlarge the firewall holes for the larger
harness. You can use a hole saw, 
but I used a fibre cutting wheel, and carefully opened it up, keeping it
round somehow, and then I primered and painted it.

Bending the hole out so that you can fit the wire through is not the
ideal way to do it, it will rust, flow water, and it looks bad.

It's all there, except for the engine harness which is already installed.
Are you going to use the Scirocco instrumentation? 
If you are, I could use the instrument panel connectors, they won't fit
the '89 Jetta instrument panel anyway.

Ask for Xanex, instead. <g>
