Quick update, found myself a mk2 centre console with the aircon (not with the switches or aircon unit...or ashtray)

Got it for a snip at £15 plus £10 p+p from eBay.

THE PLAN:

I am completely customising the centre console from the bottom up.

Installed will be a touchscreen monitor with DVD slot drive, usb slots and power button.

The above will be connected to a PC built into the arm rest with sat nav, radio card, ipod connectivity and all the usual PC lovelies (internet etc)

I will be installing an amp as there will be no head unit.

The four buttons along the top (fogs etc) will be removed and replaced.

A Scangauge II will be installed.

The aircon will be relocated on the centre console and will be changed to red led's to match the rest of the dash.

Push start button will be added.

I plan on extending the dash over the ashtray recess as I have no use for it and allows me to add anything else I may decide to fit.

Thats it for now, I will be out with the dremel tools and hacking away at it for quite a few month, most of the work being done after June (holidays!) but will update with pics as and when I do any work on it.

I'm in no rush as I say cos I still need to find the car to fit it to lol.
