Jelloslug: can the digital clusters be bench tested? Before I get all up in it I wanted to see if thing would power on first.

Bench tested as powered up or as in making the speedo read out work? You can power it up by applying power to the constant, switched and illumination connections on the small black connector (don't forget to hook up the ground too) and you could test the speedo readout with a spare VSS hooked up the cluster and spun with a drill. I have no idea if the drill will go fast enough to make the speedo top out though.

Dremel?

Would the power wires be 7, 9 and 13, then?

I wonder if teh 86-88 door panels would look good in a 91....I think those are teh best looking door skins on any gen 1/2 taurii....

They are really made to fit the 86-89 dash so there is a chance that they will interfere with the side of the dash. Even of they don't the molded section where the door panel meets the dash won't be right. Nothing that could not be corrected though.
