In this forum thread I'll upload the process of restoration my Sega TouringCar cabinet I hope like you.

-Restoration Daytona steering wheel:

After making a successful test of hacking of steering wheel, the first thing I did was to clean the steering wheel and remove the rust that it had.
Here I leave the state when I arrived:



I started by removing all the rust with the help of a wire brush and in the most difficult places I used a Dremel tool with a brush:



You can see in the picture below before of brushing and after brushing:



Then I sanded the complete surface with a sandpaper of grit 400 and I painted with spray of color Chrom Silver.Only I gave a layer because is hidden inside the cabinet simulator and it,s the result:







Also I cleaned the two belts with a cloth dipped in water before mounting the metal chassis of the wheel.
Now it,s like new:



-Restoration of top part:Billboard and support of power supply,amplyfier ,etc.:

Like the billboard and marquee were in good conditions only I cleaned the dust of them:







Finally it is shiny:



The support of power supply ,amplifier etc,was very dirty:





I cleaned the support of wood and inside of three metal parts, two sides and a front more the door.
The outside metalic part was in good condition and only I cleaned:




But the inside was very dirty and I had to printed with spray paint(Metalic Grey)the three parts:





The resulted is this:



The metalic door was very rusted:



A part of metalic door sand it and other part without sand:



And I had to sanded and also printed it:



Complete Pedals Restauration:

When I bought the machine the pedals had this aspect:



First I disassembled the pedals:





And the other base under of pedals:



I cleaned, removed all the rust and and then I painted it:



After I began with the other base of pedals:



I did the process itself like the other base.This is the resulted:



Also I painted the pedals protection:





And also I painted the screws of pedals base:



After I dissambled the two pedals,first the brake pedal:



And then the accelerator pedal:



Then I bought a metal plate slip in Leroy Merlin:



I cut two pieces of sheet metal with the shape of the pedals and I sticked to the surface of the pedals:



Then I mounted all parts of pedals in the base:





The last I did went the support of the feet.I remove the part of rubber:



And I placed two pieces of sheet metal like in the pedals:



At the end the complete resulted it,s this:



-Restauration of blue support and glass mask:

The glass mask had rests of the sticker:



And I cleaned with hot water.

Also the botton blue support was a little rusty and some parts had no paint:



And I painted with blue spray:



At the end this it,s the resulted:



-Adjust of Daytona Steering Wheel in the cabinet:

It has been a hard work but at the end I have get.
First this was the aspect of support of Original steering wheel:



I removed with a grinder all supports of wires:



And then I painted:



After I use four strong squadrons like this to hold it:





Before I marked and cutted a part of wood to move out the full steering wheel because needed to get a little out the axle:









After I put two little squadrons to avoid tipping up of support when I put the steering wheel at the front:



But after to do all this the axle need exit more out:



I had to cut a partof body of Steering wheel because has a right angle and the control panel and the  blue support are in chamfer:



Also I had to cut the part metalic of buttons and the paret metalic of gear lever.The rest of chasis had to remove:





At the end It adjusted perfectly:





The body of Steering wheel is lash down with two screws:






-Fit the Led Monitor of 39 inches in the cabinet:

This is the hole of screen:





Like the LED monitor would not fit in the hole I had to cut the parts marked in red color:



I disconnected the two tweeters of the two side tables:



Here the two tables to cut:



After I did a template to get the perfect position of Led monitor:





Also I had to cut a part of the base because the monitor would not fit:



I placed a backing in the middle of the base and in the sides of the base:







Then I used these squadrons to attach the monitor to the cabinet:



And I also used two pieces of wood to fit the Led monitor:



Also I put in the base masking tape to avoid to the sawdust it comes off:



At the end it fitted the Led Monitor of this way in the cabinet:





And this is the final resulted:

And the box the coin:



Then remove the coin slot and did a system using a switch to give credits only with introduce the coins:











At the end the complete resulted after of put the two yellow locks:



-Restoration of Panel:

The panel of Sega Touring cabinet had this aspect:



I repaired all cigarrete burns with poliester mastic that it,s used to repair the bodywork of the cars:



After I connected the wires of buttoms and gear lever:









Then I put Vinilo Carbono 4D Brillo 80x152cm and sticked in the panel.I can´t stick of a piece because the panel had a lot curves and went imposible.Only I could stick it by parts but not differ much near joints.At the end I like the resulted,It,s see pretty well of near:



If anyone want buy that vinilo,it,s cheap and he has a quality very nice.
I bought this Vinilo Carbono 4D Brillo 60x152cm by 23,60 shipping included:

I think to if I had had a air heater maybe I could had put all the vinilo of a piece but I doubt because the panel had enough curves.

-Put secuencial change in the cabinet:

I have adapted the secuencial change of a Sega Grand Prix steering wheel to my sega TouringCar this:



This the front part:



And this back part:



And this side face:



This it,s the complete secuencial change with all parts:



Then I painted with yellow spray the two parts yellow and with spray black metalic the other part:





Like I only had 7 cm between the steering wheel and the panel,I had to remove the last piece black of secuencial change because doens´t enter:



I had to do a new piece with a piece of sheet with this form.Also I had to do a hole more big with a pallet drill of 22mm in the secuencial change because the hole was more small that the axis of steering wheel:



Then I used a cheet to do the base of buttoms:



The buttoms led have five connections + and - of led buttom then NO to + of buttom and C to - of buttom.The other connection NC doesn´t use:



Then I bought a set of males of Metrica 6(drill of 5mm)to screw the two screws to the steering wheel:





At the end the resulted had been this:







-Restoration complete of the seat:

The aspect of base of seat was this:



The base was very rusted:

Under of seat is the subwoofer:



Then I unmounted the rear seatback:



The rear seatback was hold with six clamps:





Also in the rear seatback was the two speakers,left and right:





This went the paint cabin improvised:



And these the materials that I used more aguaplash paste that doens´t appears in the next image:



First I began with the seat, giving aguaplash paste to all damages:



After I gave white sealer primer to all the seat for palster after the yellow paint:



And then I painted giving two hands of yello paint in spray and after of dry the paint I gave other two hands of transparent varnish.



I did the process itself with the seatback:



-Creation of base of seat:

I did a base for the seat because it hadn´t.

I used a metal platesto join the five parts that make up the base of seat:



I had to go adapting the metal plates to the inclination of each part:







After I covered the metal paltes with a layer of aguaplash plaste and I add two woods joined with two metal plates to the part of front:







Then I buy by 6 euros this piece of polipiel:



And this piece of foam also by 6 euros:



I holded a piece of foam with size itself that the base of seat:



Then I hissed the edges:



And holded other piece of foam a bit more small for to centre of seat:



After I used a manual staplerat stapling all around the end the aspect of upholstered seat is this:





Like yet was a bit hard when I sit down I put a piece of foam more under the base in the back and now it,s very comfortable:



Also like as I remained various parts of the metal plate I put them on the base:



At the end the final resulted it,s this:
