Hi all!!

fast question: how is the upper console supposed to be fixed in the frontal part to the chassis? I've found no way apart from manually modifying it.

THANKS!!!!

 

Are you talking about the overhead console? If so, there are specific screws that go up there that the console slides on to.

 

Yeah!! Thanks man, that was the answer I was looking for

BTW, are you talking about these in particular?

bye

 

Yes

 

Your console is either very different from us models, not from a third gen, or heavily modified. Doesn't look anything like one I've seen before. Keep in mind that ttop consoles are different from hard top consoles.

 

No, that is a third gen console. It just has all of the stuff removed from it. No map pocket, dials, map light or buttons.

 

Ah, I thought itt had stuff on top if it, now I see we are looking through the openings to the roof.

 

yeah, I removed the parts in order to put in something more usefull

 

What are you working on putting in that spot. I've been toying with the idea of relocating my window switches to that area.

 

Actually, i'm putting this in that place a thermometer similar to this: http://i01.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/4...nd-Weather.jpg

It provides me 1) clock 2) in temp 3) out temp

I'm removing the light to put a panel with 2-3 red LEDs for interior low red glare, very common in modern cars.

Removing the pocket too to put: bluetooth mic, pioneer auto equalizer mic, USB port and aux-in (not sure about those positions), second fan switch, and a switch to control another very low red glare at foots.

The upper console is the only thing I modified in the car. Everything else I keps original.

 

Sounds like a nice project. I look forward to seeing updated pictures.

 

subbed, i have a spare console that nobody seems to want to buy, i may follow suit and mod it to be more useful in today's world

 

So do I. I thought it would be a lot easier to sell it.

 

yeah i definitely thought they would be more desirable, i have a hard top and t-top console up for grabs but it seems the only people that want them just want parts because they already have the console.

oh well. OP i hope you keep us updated on your progress with this, would be very interesting to see the steps you take with modifying this piece.

 

Yeah, I'll post pictures soon !!

 

Update??

 

I took the "wheely reminder thingy" out of mine and made a block plate to fit the hole. I mounted a pushbutton that activates my garage door opener. The guts of the opener are back in the rear portion of the console. I had a friend make me a voltage regulator that drops the voltage to 9V for the opener.

 

Anyone else mount anything cool in that spot?
I'm very interested in replacing those useless dials!

 

I gutted mine and put an old digital clock in there behind some smoked plexi that only shows when you push the map light button. Who uses the oil change **** thing anyways? haha
