Has any one ever installed digital electronics into a Lamborghini Countach? In other words take out the analog gauges and replace it with cool digital gauges? Can it be done? What about the wiring? Will the Euro wiring work or do you have to change all that?

Thanks for your time.

I would say that it probably can be done with a lot of custom wiring work but the question is why in the world would you want to?

It looks good in hotrods and motorcycles, but i wouldn't do it in a Countach.

It would definitely hurt the resale but if done tastefully it could look cool; don't try to make it look like Knight Rider or something. :lol2:

The dash and gauges look plane and boring, so I just wanted to do something to make it look neater. But I don't know if Gm wiring or Summit or something like that would work in a Countach. That's why I was wondering if any one has ever done it.

I haven't seen it done, and I am sure it would add to the "I think it's a kit car" questions.

If you really wanted to do it, then, yes it could be done. I would look at some magazines on street rods, some use painless wiring (that's the brand name). You will have to modify the wiring harness.

I'm just going to leave everything as is for now. Thanks. :)
