Ok....Has anyone redone their center consoles?? I'm looking to get rid of the ashtray and would like a storage holder (e.g. a drink tray holder to install below the radio)

Any pictures of what you may have done would be appreciated...

 

Here's what I did,


And I moved the A/C controls to the glove box, I like my A/C

 

That is definitely interesting....I would have no use for the computer idea though...I get in the car to get away from that stuff

 

wow where is the radio? I will be making mine into a keypad starter lock

 

I originally made that PC for playing MP3s, and it did that for a while. Now it's mainly used to tune the E-Manage, I even have a wi-fi card in there to upload MP3s if I need to

 

yes but where is the stereo?

 

the computer looks bad ***, but you should hard- wire that radar detector so no cables run up the middle of your dash

 

I put the monitor (14") and keyboard in the glove box computer tower is in the storage bin and DVD burner is cut into the storage area between the seats

 

**** you could have limewire in your car with a thousand songs in it... haha...

 

Any other ideas besides putting a computer in there?

 

i am taking out the top air vents, and putting my gauges in there. gauges have to come off the A pillar bc of the rollbar. i may follow shadowx's idea and put my ac controls in the glove box so i can fit more gauges on my console. nice looking out!

 

wow that is freaking awsome... I wana do that!!!! what kinda system are you using?

 

Im not exactly sure where I found this dash. I do like the way its cleaned up and thought of doing something similar.

 

How about making use of the rotary heat and putting a convection oven in there?

 

Actually, that's my G-Tech, no radar detector.

To be honest, I wouldn't recommend my setup for anyone else, it's really a PITA. That's a Toshiba Libretto laptop that I had to hack up to fit in there. There's a lot of newer setups with touch screens that are a lot better, albeit a little more expensive.

I also had to cut and extend the wiring harness for the A/C controls, which was also a bitch.

And I got rid of the stock player ages ago, the MP3 player works fine as a stereo.

 

That's a 1st generation-car dash...

 

Will that work in a 2nd Gen??? I like the clean look of it...

 

Apparently the console is from an 84-85 GSL-SE.

 

A+ for creativity! That is very nice!

 

throw some wireless internet on that BIATCH and post a thread from the highway...

This takes the whole cell phones while driving being dangerous to a whole other level - HAHA
