Megasquirt Digi Dash
We added a pretty cool feature recently to our ’75 Rabbit build. Using a $50 Amazon Fire tablet and the android app available from DIY Autotune we are able to custom build digital dash displays in the car.

This is typically the time when the automotive tinkering slows drastically and the outside time with the family increases. The tools get tucked away and the toys come out! We have a couple of pretty sweet long term projects in the shop, so we will update periodically. Luckily, before the snow came down in feet, we got one of our long term projects into the shop for its final phase of the build. This 1975 VW Rabbit spent some time at our friends JRM Fabrication getting a turbo setup built. There are a few loose…
