CGT digital to analog conversion issues

[S J & I Santoliquido]

Where in SE Virginia Dave?
I'm with Rob. I've been wanting to replace my digital dash for a long time.
It works fine, I just don't like it.
Looking at the wiring diagrams I think it won't be too tough, if you're
handy w/ a soldering iron.
I'm going to do it. Right after I paint the car, which will be right after
the suspension upgrade, which will be right after I finish rebuilding the
engine, which will be after I finish remodeling the living room... Oh and
then there's the new baby.... But I'm going to do it!

1987 CGT Special Build 2.3 (with digi-dash for now), engine removed :~(
1996 A6 Wagon (family car)
1992 Ford Ranger (well I have to drive something while the engines out of
the CGT)
1974 Alfa Romeo Spider, well, not really. But it looks like fun, think I
should buy it?
