I'll bite. Lol.
I just did this conversion in my 85 t type. You will need an analog dash cluster, and a dash wiring harness from an analog car (must be from a turbo car). You will need to remove the dash completely from the fire wall and remove from the vehicle. I changed mine over at a relaxed pace in about 2 1/2 hours. Where are you located?

Ok, I was going to say that if you were reasonably close to the Philadelphia area I would be more then happy to do the swap for you or help you through it. Still willing to do so, but I'm sure your not willing to travel to have it done. It's an easy swap for those handy with common tools and a little patience.

That sucks, but like I said if your willing to make the trip I'll be willing to help or do the swap. You can piece together everything you need from vendors here for less then that. I don't currently have one, but I may be able to get you a dash harness. I did forget to mention that you will also need to change the fuel pump hanger (level sensor) this is also different between analog and digital.

No worries, we all were newbies at some point. There is no shortage of knowledge about these cars on this forum, with that said you have come to the right place. Ask lots of questions and read, read, and read some more lol. As for your parts list, you need the analog dash cluster, dash harness from analog turbo car, and analog fuel hanger. Other than these parts everything else is the same (bezels etc are all the same). The only other potential problem is if your car is equipped with a factory alarm or not. With this said, it can be reconnected or removed. If your car is so equipped and you choose to retain this option you will need a harness from a analog car equipped with a factory theft system. If you car is not equipped this will not effect you in any way.

If it is reading in Kmh. There is a little knob that you twist to cycle between MPH and Kmh. It might be missing or doesn't work. But hey maybe.....

I'm pretty sure, but not 100%, that casper sells a dash wiring kit if you have trouble finding one.
