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!

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?

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!
