Refurbing a Fiesta Mk 6.5
Discussion
Hi guys, new to the forum and thinking of taking on a project that probably isn't a good idea, but my logic is if I don't ask around I'll never know. Or I'll try it and make a right hash of it. 
I'm thinking of getting my hands on a Mk 6.5 Ford Fiesta (which seem to be ten a penny at the minute) and refurbing the interior so that it has all the gadgetry and niceties of a Mk 8, i.e. the Sync radio/sat-nav screen, digital speedo, interactive steering wheel, reverse sensors, air con etc. I get the impression this will probably involve ripping out the dash and fitting a new one from a Mk 8, or at the very least taking bits out and bolting new parts to the existing dash.
The question I've come to ask you lot is how much time and effort would I be looking at taking this on? I'm not a professional by any means - just someone with a bit too much time on his hands and wants to soup up an old runner so that it at least resembles and acts like a modern car. Advice, tips and potential talking-out-of-it much appreciated!
