Better Bodies Console Installed....finally
 

Well I have been contemplating this for a long time and finally went ahead and purchased one. The fit was a little difficult as there was a fair bit of dremmel work to get the Head Unit to fit the way I wanted. But...I am very happy with the result and after all it is always reversible.....just to head off the inevitable flaming from the purists!

I think that looks really good Dave. Not my style, but you have done a great job there :)
BTW, where did you get the bin that you have put in the old stereo slot?

Thanks Paul. Bin was available at the local electronics shop and snapped straight in.
Cheers.

I am looking for something just like that - was it advertised as a bin that would fit the normal stereo slot?

That reminds me of a Gemballa 911... Of course that car didn't have a DVD player in the console.

Well done! :cool:

Paul,
If you can't get one over there let me know and I will pick one up for you and post it to you. If I remember correctly it was only about $20:00AUD .
Cheers mate.
Dave.

Hi Dave,

That looks better than I expected. Nice job. Is the handbrake accessible under a sliding cover? Or how do you get access?

Yes mate. hand brake is fully accessible under sliding cover.
Dave.

Hey! Good for you mate! I know this has been a real battle for you. Glad one finally showed up over there for you. Looks great too. Nice work!

Thanks Shane. BTW I haven't forgotten your project.

Wow, Looks sweet. Less VW Beetle Look. I am sorry I had to say that. I never understood until I got my baby why they designed it the way they did. A Drvier's Car not a Cup holder Car.

Great Job!

Is that "No Man's Land" playing on the DVD?

Your good!....you guessed it!
