Finally took some photos of the transmission tunnel progress.These show the before and after, seperated by a shot of the pieces off the car. The
transformation doesn’t look that profound in the photos, but in the flesh the
radiused edges make a huge difference to the appearance.Hopefully that
improvement will remain once the upholstery is done. As you can see, the new pieces raise the top about 3/4” and there are large cutouts around the gear lever and handbrake that will allow the gaiters to sink below the surface. I added some 3/4” u-channel behind the handbrake (visible in the before photo) to shore up that area so I can continue to use it for a hand plant when sitting/exiting the seat. This weekend I break out the sewing
machine.
