Dont panic build thread?

[panic]

To get the passat column to work I had to cut off the tilt parts and weld on the bracket from the original column. I did it to get all the functions on the passat column to work instead of the dash buttons. The wiring was a huge learning curve but it all works now. As a side note, the columns shaft is the same length and spline as the beetle column. Now I need to find a nice OE leather steering wheel.
