i agree with skot.

however if you must change em, i'd get em upholstered, but if your gonna do that get a high tower console from a calais.

I don't know much about the sydney wreckers but there isn't much in the ACT. Speeds is good but not cheap. A couple of wreckers in Struggle Town wanted $180 for a VN bonnet (I nearly threw up). I am keeping my eye on all classifides and canberra times for guys wrecking cars.

One guy suggested a wrecker in goulburn that would be heaps cheaper and only 40 min away.

Good luck

the plastic console is usually very brittle and breaks easily, especially the arm rest part
get it upholstered remembering that any light colour will reflect in the windscreen
