|
|
After debating to go without and go with the CGT look I opted
to keep my center console i built a few years ago. I did have to take 2 inches out of the width so it would fit between the seats. Itll house the stereo, a ignition /momentary start button, fuel pump switch, cold start switch as well as a digital AFM wideband guage. I think im gonna give it a pasha paintjob. Woot.

I dont know, it should be self explanatory... wood, fiberglass, resin, light weight filler some skills and an idea of what looks good. Bam its alive.
Im gonna give the whole console a cool pasha paint scheme too.

I don't know why I made this. I felt like I needed to after you said that.

Doesn't look bad to me really. Are you going to wrap it in vinyl when you're done or anything? _________________ - 1977 Porsche 924 2.0 N/A (Trackday Project)

Just need to build the stereo cover & cut a hole for the bat. cut off switch
somewhere centered between the 4 screws on the back panel, get the thing installed securley.
Then mask it off for a cool pasha paint scheme. Its kind of awesome is it not.
