Wouldn't be that hard to get the basic functions working, but things like the oil pressure gauge and oil level could be hard to get working.
And personally, if it wasn't all working, i myself would never be happy with it

Theres a guy on retrorides who has done this to his mk3 escort, his username is Street (used to be on here often in the past)
THe only problem was he didnt have space to use the warning lights and had a seperate pod for them, but then he wanted to keep part of the original dash facia
