Thanks y'all for those kind words.
Twas a labour of love (?) over the years, adding, modifying and removing bits.

My daughter and I installed the door and the other trim bits in the summer of 2012. 40+ degree day, whoa.
15 minutes outside, 30 minutes back inside with the air con on full, then back at it. What was I thinking?

The rest of the accessories where install over time when funds allowed. Most purchased off eBay.
I'm happy with it.....until I get tired of something and change it.

I had a different idea as to how to install the console gauges.
Dunno if anyone's done it this way or not. It wasn't hard and worked out really well, for me anyway.
I just used some 3mm MDF, it's easy to cut and shape and attached it to the console insert. Although 2mm would have been better, if it's available.

:bang: Ahhhh great.......Someone pulled too hard on the passenger's side seat pocket and broke a clip.
Got the s##ts and ripped the whole thing off. Now I'm up for $60 or more to replace the damn thing.

Any one so much's sneezes near it, I'll bust their balls :banstick:
