Musashi Celica build

[jkamakaze]

Hey everyone. Im known as Jay Kamakaze I started JM Exclusive tricking out cars and my lab rat of a 97 Celica ST has taken so much beating from me with tons of installs ive done to learn fabrication and custom installs. Ive installed, removed, installed, removed. Ive even posted previous installs on this site. Now Ive reached as place where Im comfortable with my fabrication and my skills to do one complete build. The car is near finished already but i chose to start my build log of everything i did and how i got there.

This log includes sooo much custom (even down to the wiring), I guarantee this is a one of a kind Celica.

Some highlights I will get to:

-Dual CarPCs

-RFID Keyless Ignition (my own design, don't bother asking for diagram)

-Modded XBOX360

-PC Controlled Lighting

-Touchscreen Speedo

-Centerconsole Build

-Dashboard Build

-Trunk build

Figure I show you where i started so you can appreciate where Im going with this build.

((My original NEWBBBBB setup when i was first interested in customizing lol smh))

((Then as I got a little better i upgraded and did my first Car PC/XBOX Install))

So first things first…I needed a plan. I could probably estimate about

13913042040 hours in just staring at the already customized dash,

thinking to myself how I could step this up a notch. I was already set

on learning to fiberglass door panels and building a center console,

but the dash need to go from Toyota to Exclusive.

Now originally I was only going revamp the touchscreen I already had

installed with some type of enclosure and fix it to the dashboard.

When I went to order the touchscreen glass, I guessed the size and

thought it was a 10in, only to get it in the mail from China, put it

against my monitor and realize it was an 8in screen. No sense in going

backward now.

Dashboard:

I cut the dash out to remove the awkward contour and was left with a

largeeee gap to fill. If was going to position the screen where I

wanted the ac vents would have to be moved. I made a rerouted pathway

that the monitor could mount on.

I removed all the factory vinyl off the dashboard,

then put the dash

back in the car. Using plastics bags and realllllyy cheap masking tape

I masked the gap, made a mold of the gap, then use resin and dowels to

hold the rear of the monitor on.

[jkamakaze]

Once that dried I could put the hood on over the monitor housing which

replaced the contour I was trying to get rid of and also hold the

H.U.D. monitor.

I stretched fleece from the hood to the dash to cover

any more gaps and create more shape.

Planning from my drawings I figured this was probably the best time to try and mount my DVD drive real quick.

Now all that is left on the dash board was to wrap entire thing in

fleece, I did this so it gives entire dash a uniform flow, rather than

trying to fill in massive dips trying to get everything even. Also

prevents factory foam from soaking up too much resin. (dont have a pics of the fleece wrap)

I broke the original bezel i had for the monitor so i was forced to make a new one :/

After everything

hardened I could cut and trim as needed to fit all my insert pieces

(monitor, & vents)
