Then the big one. Removed the centre console, and the radio from the middle of the dash, and began the prep to install the radio into the console.
This may not be to everybody’s taste, but the speaker has already gone and the space where the speaker grille used to live is taken up with a slightly sad looking copy of the MG cover which normally lives in the middle of the dash, an ammeter, a clock, a map light and a windscreen washer switch.
My plan is the remove the radio and install it into the console, keep the washer switch and light but lose the ammeter and clock. I have a blanking plate for the dash already.
The current console front plate is made from roughly painted wood and just looks a right mess. I’m going to cover the wood in padded vinyl and hopefully fashion a speaker grille of sorts to make the whole thing look more presentable.
Still, best laid plans and all that - Browne Jr called when things were at their messiest and most deconstructed asking for help as she had managed to rip the sidewall out of one of her tyres on the evening before her first shift as a trainee paramedic, so I was despatched with tools, jack and spare wheel to save the day.
I’m left with a GT in bits and a wheel needing a new tyre. That sounds like tomorrow is sorted
