TA & RA custom dashes

[PETER.T]

hey guys just wondering if anyone has in pics of there custom dashes from TA & RA celica models.It will be very interesting to see different ideas.

cheers.

i would also be interested, i'm working on my RA40 dash at the moment. However, my car is not at all made to be 'pretty' just to be fun... so it may end up looking pretty crude - so anyone with a crude but functional dash, i'd be keen to see that too.

[PETER.T]

it will be interesting to see if anyone has used the original dash and just swaped the guages to make it look original or just went full custom...im keen to see anything so post some pics up!!!

Nice and simple.





Cheers Mike

I'm going to attempt this using the TA original dials. Making a template out of balsa then make fiberglass moulds. Will try and take pics of progress.file:///Users/mac/Desktop/3621552015_45abe43291_b.jpg

the pics dont do it justice, but here are autometer gauges in a stock dash





this is the butchered mess the car was in when i got it, the young guy tried and failed to make a good custom dash so i had a lot of work to return it to near standard....
i cut out more than 10kgs of bog and fibreglass to fix this mess....

[PETER.T]

what size guages did you use? 3"3/8 and 2' 1/16?

BigMat's would have to be some of the best gauges ive seen in a factory dash.
