While you could swap out the lid assembly (still a bit of work) taking the display apart won’t be that easy and you also won’t find the case part as Apple only offers it as an assembly to their service centers. Not exactly the same, the newer model the procedure is about the same Retina MacBook 2017 Display Assembly Replacement
