What exactly do you mean by Dash?  Instrument cluster is same except tach is
calibrated for 5cyl motor on 4KQ instead of 4 cyl on reg 4K.  Dashboard
itself is same, except badging on pass side says quattro.  And then, of
course, the center console is different.  But Dashboard Panel itself is
interchangeable for 85-87 models.  But be aware that there are subtle color
derivations (esp between dark brown and black- best to take a piece (glovebox
cover with you to match with donor panel.
