Hi guys, I’m Gary from b’ham in the uk.

I'm after some information regarding the 2002 c230 kompressor I‘ve recently brought.
the car itself is an absolute basket case but it’s got a fantastic engine and gearbox which I want to transplant into my classic car.

my first question
If I installed the engine and gearbox into my classic motor, would the engine still start as per normal if the instrument binicle was disconnected and replaced with aftermarket digital clocks?

2nd question, would the immobiliser be affected in any way if I didn’t use the binnicle?

cheers everyone!
I’ll look forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts and experiences 👍🏻

1=no
2=yes
pick a different hobby, like dune buggy!

looks like I need to incorporate the binicle somehow then!
its a shame the body is shot cos it drives really nice

Surely there’s away around it?
has anybody done anything like this Before, deleting the instrument binicle?

maybe fitted the power train into a kit car.....?
