I decided to do some interior work on my car and wanted a new center console, the one before was basically a big box on the floor, and i didn't like the look. When i bought the car i got like half of a 2.0 console and used that as a template for one side and built the rest the way i wanted it to look. It is not complete yet but will be. I still need to put the led lights on either side and inside the little compartment, to give a little more light in the interior. I need to cover it in vinyl and get the thrid switch for the last hole. The switches will be used to turn the fuel pump on and turn the leds on as well, the third(i guess second since the middle switch will do this) will be used as a kill switch, i haven't decided on that yet either. What do you think?

It not completely done yet, i still want to pull the vinyl off on some parts so the fit is better. I have to get the other side covered in vinyl as well as the insides so you don't see the wood. If i pull it apart tonight i will trace out all my pieces and make a precut kit and see how that goes. thanks everybody, just a little bit longer and the thing will be done
I also thought about the shift boot. I plan on the tall pyramid and instead of it going underneath the plate and stapling it there. I will use trons idea of bolting it down. I asked my dad if we could use the cnc at his workshop and he said yes. So a square piece of metal will be put over the square hole where the shifter comes through to hold down the shifter boot. The great thing is, is that we can write whatever on the plate like 914, PORSCHE, or the shift pattern on the top and bottom with Porsche on the sides. Cant wait for that to come(might be awhile for that) theres work at the shop that has to be finished before my dad will start a car project!! |
