one question with this conversion can you still retain all the dash functions ie heater blower and all vents working etc. Very nice indeed.

yeah - pretty much, im using a Escort cosworth speedo clocks and heater box. With the heater box ive plumbed in universal pipes to all the vents and modded the focus dash triangle so i can use the escort heater controls.
