Very nice, that cd player area, wow.. Could they squeeze anything else into it? Always liked those cupholders though. Can't imagine they'd be too sturdy? Just need to fix up that missing bit of trim from the centre console and you're in business. Looks comfy.

It's got more buttons than an aviation cockpit.

Still a lot of cleaning to be done to the cabin in general and then need a real good cut & polish. Then after that start the slow conversion of the head unit and rear DVD setup to a single computer. Will allow for much more then what already in place. Now i will say i am kinda fairly new to the Gen III and if anyone has any general advice or suggestions please chuck them this way. As for the missing cover flap/door, Yea the original one had the clip loops on them broken so would never stay closed. Decided to remove it as kept things flush. But when changing the head unit to a touchscreen, Will be changing that a little to have a few controls available or inputs along with still having a storage compartment. Then will locate two half high buttons to replace the "Power Mode & Traction Control" and install them both where the Traction Control button is currently freeing up the left hand strip of the transmission area. As for what will be in the that place... Not to sure yet. And depending if the rear screens get replaced with touchscreens, i will do some modifications to the rear roof controls. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
