Yes it does. I like your choice of hardware.
I'm still impressed you got the gauges to fit in front of the heater. Something else you may run into is getting the defroster duct to not hit the speedo. I think I'm going to have to make a spacer piece that is angled so it kicks the lower part of the defroster duct toward the front so it doesn't hit the speedo.

Nice detailed video on the wiring. If I remember correctly I used the oil pressure wire for the oil temp sender.
Also I think I used the unlabeled red wire with an inline fuse for power to the heater switch.
Don't forget to trim the body roll/lip at the dash area. Since you're spacing the dash back some it'll probably definitely need trimmed. I'd hate to see you tear the vinyl up putting the body back on.
I thought the haywire kit was really nice. The instructions were simple but informative enough, everything was labeled nice, properly sized wires and plenty of length on everything.
You also might have a little trouble getting the VW turn signal to fit with the steering wheel since you're spacing the dash out.

Yep, trimming the cowl is planned.   The switch fits.  Tested it today.

Hope your enjoying the wiring. Looks like it's coming together nicely. I really enjoyed the wiring part. Was very relaxing and satisfying as things came together.

It did.  I have an AFR issue to fix. I putthr wrong octane in, and the O2 sensor may have an issue, but it runs strong.

The horn that came with the car sounded too generic and American,  and this is a sports car, so...
