Yes.
do you have to do anything custom or it just fits right in?
Fits like a glove.
really have you done it?
Yeah I do it to all my cars.. honda, toyota, ferrari, I put in new dashes on all them.
sweet thank you
What a weird question.
why is that?
No offense.
The switch for the windows is in the door not the console on the 5GC as opposed to the 7, could fit other switches there…
I see some issues but I think you could do it.
However due to the chassis no longer being ST or AT I wouldn’t be sure unless someone’s done it
I just didn’t expect it lol
mine is not power windows
It’s a joke.. I hope @Jordan Look at the lengths of the dashes, and the center consoles, you’d be putting in bank just to get your gauges and stuff to work with a 7th gens switches.
Well Idk, I’m sure you could do something to make it work, be it extend the inners of the doors and reshape some of the interior but when there is a will there is a mfing way. Your sarcasm struck me as odd since you’re usually so straightforward lol
Expect the unexpected.
lol
thanks anyways
Really I could see making it work with a lot of fab time.
Personally I always feel like I can convince someone to do what they want
I like the classic interior but if you want a gen 7 interior you do that Shit.
im still going to do it just wanted to see if someone has already made one fit
Here’s the easy way to do it, sell your 5th gen and get a 7th.
lmao thats no fun tho
who wants to be original
What I’m doing is a custom interior (eventually) based on the original interior.
@Zack how do you plan on doing the AC/Heat, Gauge Cluster?
Your biggest issue would be doors and side panels IMO.
if they’re not the same length you’re SOL.
right that would be cool im just not a fan of the 7th gen body style
im not theres not going to be any ac
But the gauge cluster?
Heat is easy, you can do a hard plug.
Custom cluster :3
I’m a stubborn mfer lol
Really though you’re gonna want to take 70 thousand measurement
measurements
My biggest concern is the length of the doors won’t line up. You can bring them in/cut them out but you can’t change the length
Well, you could. But you’d be able to tell.
yea you would be able to tell i guess i have some messurments to take huh ill let yall know how it goes im going to the junk yard next week to see what i can find
Hell snag a door panel and see if it lines up. If the dash is too small, you can work out a spacer that rounds the top, or split the dash and introduce a donor middle and then smooth and paint. If the dash is too big, you can cut into the door panels.
yeah i will see what they got
As for the center I think it can fit, the back seats seem roughly the same, of course mounting all this stuff is gonna be tricky.
You might be better off doing doors forward (would be better off) and doing custom inner quarters to smooth them together.
trust me i have a long time with this car got the 3sgte on its way right now an yea console cant be to hard if not ill make something work
and what do you mean by making the doors forward
Whoops lol
I mean like, doing door panels, dash, and center but leaving the back seats and trunk alone. Save yourself the headache.
oh yea thats what im doing cuz the back seat is getting deleated
And like, Yknow the panels back there? It’d be a motherfucker to line those up, so I’d just blend them together.
yea just paint them all the same color an you wont be able to tell
Oh well that too lol.
But you’re gonna be left with a gap between the edge of the door panel and that plastic there, but you could take both pieces to a fiberglass shop and they could sculpt you new inners back there to smoothly transition them.
i didnt think about that im sure they will be able to do that
Lol I’ve been working out plans for a custom interior for a while…
yea not me i just got the idea yesterday an wanted to make it possible not many celica in floridas junk yards to get pats
I’m a touch north of you, I get the feeling.
yeah it sucks man specialy trying to find 20 year old celicas ant easy
4th gens are even worse. Any who check it out and let me know. Ask for ideas if you want since it’s been on my mind for a while too lol
