Thread: 1984 Renault Fuego 8" laptop carpc

Hi, I'm Nelson of Argentina, I have a Renault Fuego 84



and install a CarPC build with a notebook HP Omnibook X3, a lcd 8" and some things more.

The text is translated by google, so I apologize if something is not understood. I make a summary of foulbrood did, and it was hard work.

First, a picture of the notebook with the screen broken, so the idea of using it for the project:



After disarming the whole note, cut the base to the minimum required:



With an aluminum, assemble the base and lid:







add some connectors, the idea is to use the minimum number of connectors:



and this is the finished base with all placed:



Then comes the cover, which bears the keyboard and touchpad



some cuts in the middle



A little ingenuity and hammer in hand









The case paint ready to send



After painting, all armed









As I can not tuchscreen screen, I monitored via a joystick, so this:



step to this:



and finished this one:



Now follow the screen is a little big and not within the dashboard, so I had to make a stand, and by the way, I can easily extract:



Testing support in paper



And from paper to aluminum



testing set



After painting, testing in the car



working ok:



And this is the idea to place a keyboard



Missing a lot to do and add, now I'm working on a new control, which publishes in the relevant section when completed.

We also publish the skin, which I did based on the Elite lite 1.1 and take some things from other skins, I did this especially to be used without touchscreen.
