:yahoo: :yahoo: My Touchscreen Speedometer Build :yahoo: :yahoo:

Okay, so Im back again to tear up my Celica and try out some more ideas. This time i wanted to convert my speedometer gauge to more of a digital look.

Check My build vids on this project:

Part 1(obvious where I start the idea process)-

Part 2(this is where i tear down the gauge cluster to fit the screen and build the frame) -

Part 3(i have built the frame not its time to test it out) -

Part 4(FINALE) -

So initial of course i had to break down my gauge cluster

The only part i had to save was the actual odometer piece, because i need to save the mileage and the speed sensor is built in there.

Fitting in was obviously a challenge solved by Mr.Dremel

Once i got that in there, i could start taking the monitor apart. The circuit board of the monitor and the controller for the touchscreen fit beautifully inside my cluster and since I was making my own turn signals i drilled in some LEDS as well

So now i just need to build the frame using the bezel of the monitor into the bezel for the gauges

That is pretty sick! To be super critical, I would've given the bezel a few more hours of hand sanding attention especially in the wavy areas, and then a coat of interior texture to hide any other flaws. But aside from that, that is really cool. Where did the odometer go?

It's all gone!
