astra digital dash into erst
how easy would this be,i reckon it would be ok to do if i modified a dash surround,the main problem would be the wiring,ive managed to do it before into my old mk2 escort just didnt have the oil pressure linked up,does anybody have any pics of the digi dash in any other fords atall

Nah, old-skool. IF you really want to be different, get a set of clocks out of a new Honda hybrid to work. If anyone has seen them, they will know what I mean about cool......
