doesnt look very cozy...i think you could do alot with fiberglass though, and definately make a very nice interior.

My first post... i own a custom audio company in the Uk and we are doing a gen 6 celica as a project car for ourselves...
Just on dash at minute.. we are keeping the original dash shape and finish and just working within the panels... fabricated Dakota Digital gauges into original bezel, 8" touchscreen and relocated all heater/air con controls into centre arm rest... If i knew how to post up pics i'd show you a bit of the dash Paul www.audio-one.co.uk |

paul what you can do is take the link of the image (where its hosted)
you have to use an external host here (ie photobucket, imageshack) then you go [img ] link[ /img] to make it appear This post has been edited by playr158: Feb 23, 2006 - 12:22 PM |

will get some more shots hopefully tomorrow of the centre piece....
really didn't want to change the whole dash as the vehicle is used to demo the products and services we offer at an acceptable level of cost Paul www.audio-one.co.uk |
