If someone has some pictures of the manual console from underneath, that would be great.

I just took some pictures. The camera battery died right after I took the pictures, will post them after the battery charges.

Here are the console pictures.  Ignore the plywood pieces glued into sides, it was an attempt to stiffen the fiberglass.

 

 

 

Thanks for those!

It looks like the auto console would need some pretty serious patching to make work. I will look at sourcing a replacement console

On another note, does anyone have any recommendations for replacing this hard board that goes on the rear strut towers?

This is why I don't through anything away. I found it inside the old vinyl

I only have one and need to make the pieces for the top of the shock tower too. It looks to be about 2mm thick

Arts & crafts stores carry that kind of mat board or even a frame shop, or, like everyone else I'm sure you have a dozen Amazon boxes kicking around🙂

That's a good idea. I will try Michaels. I want something a little tougher than regular cardboard in case I need to peel the leather and reposition

I found that the board material inside of 3 ring binder/notebooks worked very well when I redid those in my track car years ago.  Something like this:

If you have some old ones laying around, that might be more appealing that sacrificing new ones 

I'll look around

McGiver it !!
