Default Newer style dash in 85 Fox?

How hard is this to do and is it even worth it?..Ive got a Dash in really good shape out of a Gt vert and my dash in my 85 is in really bad shape..Plus the speedo only goes to 85mph ..Any help will be apreciated.

Are you talking the entire dash, or just the guages? JDL1000 put a 04 Cobra guage cluster in his Fox.
