Thanks Erik,
Unfortunately all of it is coming out. I am starting from scratch without the engine in it this time. I have the car almost completely striped. It took about two hours . Since it is a flareside and not an original replica the decision to get a bit creative with the interior. We are going to make a console that will start at the dash and continue to the rear seat. It will be about three inches taller. The shifter area will be retro fitted to accept the audi TT shifter boot and boot ring . Iam working on a different design for the e-brake handle. I'll post pictures later .
