Galliano Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 TODAYS WORK...i hired a helperbut he was incapable of sitting still, untill he got wedged between the window and shelf.off came the stefio fascia, and same for the center consolei made a small bit of card into a bit of plastic (well, actually its just a substitute)covered it with some subcarpetand put it in, its on a bit of a slant but i will re-line it at a later dateall my hard work of putting it together was ruined...i made a substitute sterio din blanking plate also, of which also was made of card and sub carpet.i think it looks quite nice and its a bit of a money saver tooand then i searched my shed and found a gear gaitor, but i hate the grey so i made yet another thing out of sub carpet but my sewing skills are crap so i might get my nan to tidy it up a biti will get a day picture of that tomorrowJWK is getting there to say the least Quote Link to post Share on other sites
