Citicar dashboard rebuild

Rebuilding the 1975 Citicar dashboard with help from its original manual and ChatGPT.

✳ The story

I’ve started to dive into parts of the Citicar renovation that feel a little bit over my head. Since online resources for this car are scarce, I decided to upload the original 1975 manual to @ChatGPT to create a more modern dashboard, making it easier to find the answers I need. I’m starting thing off with the dashboard rebuild…do you think I keep the vintage woodgrain look or go with something that matches the car’s new look?!
