You'll need to learn basic electronics to wire your car. How to read a wiring diagram. How to measure resistance and voltage. How to check for continuity. How to check for ground connection. How to find out what each terminals on a switch does. How to make sure you don't fry your ignition box, etc.
The Watsons kit is great quality. The fuse box is nice, the wires are color coded and labelled, and the connectors a quality. It is however a kit and you need to be able to engineer in the gaps. Their wiring diagram makes more sense than the VW scheme, but requires understanding the VW scheme to connect stock parts (gauges, switches, etc). In addition to the kit you may want to get a crimper designed for the connectors that come with the kit, extra wiring, extra connectors, heat shrink, braided conduit, etc, etc.
A worthy project to accomplish. It just takes time, money, and patience to pull off.
Good luck
