Beautiful build up! You have a PM about your diffusor, and if I missed it, what lights did you use for the tail lamps in this project?
Thanks!

Right now, the nose project is in a holding pattern. I bought some goodies on eBay, and am waiting for them to arrive.
In the meantime, I decided to to install my new carpet. It's ACC carpet, that I bought from Automotive Interiors. It weighs about half as much as the original carpet, and looks better. (HINT: if you buy carpet from them, tell them Mr Mike sent you and you'll get free shipping)
I'm also working on a custom console. My new console does away with the plastic skeleton, so it sits lower and is not as wide as the original. It should make the interior feel a little less cramped.
I already finished the rear console piece (the ECM cover). It's made of wood, covered in felt. Below is a photo of it, just before I installed it.

I worked on the center console today. I decided to make the center console piece out of fiberglass. So naturally, I had to make a mold. Since the console is a relatively simple shape, I just glued together some plywood and covered it in packing tape.
Below, you see the wood mold. It hasn't been covered in packing tape yet.

Now, you see the fiberglass laid onto the mold. After the resin hardens, I'll pry it off the mold and trim it to shape.

The center console and dash will have the same visual theme as the rear console piece. This should give the interior a rustic, old-timey feel.

Nice I have been thinking about replacing the center console piece in my car. Different then yours but close, good job looking forward to some inside pictures.
Does that gray match up with the stock gray? Did you get a part number?[This message has been edited by Jake_Dragon (edited 04-17-2008).]

Thanks for the compliments.
To TRiAD: The tail lights I used are generic 4" LED truck lights. They have 63 LEDs each. You can get them on eBay for about $45 a pair.[This message has been edited by Blacktree (edited 08-24-2017).]

My new turn signals arrived today. So I decided to play with the nose a little. As I mentioned earlier, I'm going to turn the bottom corner holes into light mounting pockets. Today, I chopped out the excess depth from the holes. See photo below.
The lights are going to be staggered, with the turn signals further forward, to make them more visible.[This message has been edited by Blacktree (edited 10-02-2017).]

And I'm not resting my arm on a bunch of wires and cables anymore.  |

Simple and elegant! Well done.
Is it high enough to rest your arm on?[This message has been edited by Jake_Dragon (edited 04-20-2008).]

I did some more work on the nose. Here you see the new back wall being molded into one of the holes. This gives you a better visual of the staggered light mounting.
BTW, my new seats should be arriving next Monday. I'm so psyched!  [This message has been edited by Blacktree (edited 10-02-2017).]
