Fake leather was removed from the top of the console door. Console door had a crack. Crack has been filled and reglued. Leather will cover the top.

Mounting bracket is cut in half and bent upward so that the console will fit correctly (right height) against the existing shifter console.

A little bit of trim off the front of the console to make it fit flush against the existing shift console.
Parts suggested by B machine.Thank you, B.
Center console is from an E23 It will require a handful of modifications, some repair, and new leather for the top console armrest.

But I think I’ve changed my mind and I’ll add some metal plate, engine turned to match the dashboard.
Alternately, I ordered and cut a piece of metal turned plate that can be used as the bottom of the console area.
Thanks again to Bmachine and his suggestion to use the console unit from an E 23car. The unit needed a few modifications, and the top armrest area had to be recovered with new leather.
A fun, easy project.

Next project, Cruise control. The hardware was removed from an e30.
Noticed the cruise control stalk to the left of the steering wheel. Its been installed.
Of course, there were several modifications to get it into place.

From the underside: a 5.5 mm socket used as a spacer to position the cruise stalk into place.
Real professional, eh?
