In case you are still interested in this project. You should start collecting some spare parts required.

I guess HUD is doable:
1. You'll need the above unit ($500 estimate)
2. New windscreen ($500)
3. New dashboard ($700)
4. New light cluster switch ($150)
========================
Estimated part costs = $1850
Dealer reprogram = $200
========================
Total HUD retrofit cost = ~ $2000

Is it worth it? You answer it.

Cut cost? Claim insurance on windscreen. Bad boyz!
Dashboard from junkyard $100 - $200? Maybe.

Anyway, it's just for a fun estimate. Use at your own risk
