Well, for the radio I agree, and since you are not keeping it strictly from the 90s, why not take the parts taht will best fit your requirements !!!
I'm curious about the cruise control, the mondeo module. Did you get something to emulate the can-bus signal or does it work without it ?
CheeRS.
Well, it's not my DSLR.

One of my Escort Club mates (how has a 1990 EFI carbio) is a photographer.
And I made some electrical repair on his car, so as a payment I got a full portfolio about my car
If you're interested:
You can check it here
The cruise control is simple as hell! (electrical way)
No CAN-BUS needed!
Only 8 cables have to be connected, and it's working!
-12V
-GND
-VSS signal
-2x to buttons
-break pedal
-clutch pedal
-instrument cluster bulb

If you want a more detailed description, pm me!
And about the GEM (General Electric Module). It's working without the cab-bus too. But you need at least 50-60 cables to connect to get everything work, and a lot of other stuff (relays, diodes, etc) to get the locks work for example. So it's not that easy

Basically I changed the whole cable system.
