HI!... Well today I went to the local junk yard and picked up a few things. One of them was a "98" EXPLORER full length center console. Got it complete, plus the rear, and cup holder from another console for $55.00(CAN). When I got home with it, I started to take it apart to clean it up and paint it to match my interior I found a little bonus inside! A Ford 6 disc CD changer. lol! Anyway, here's a few pics of my progress so far :

Sweet deal on the extra goodie. Can thoes be used with the Ranger radio or do you have to swap in an explorer unit?

 

Depends on which factory radio you have


my tremor radio works with an explorer disc chanel

 

looks really good man

 

Nice! I wish I had your garage and tools.

 

HI!... Looks good so far.

 

What paint is this? Is it a spray can?

.

 

Nice restoration job man. Those pieces look amazing.

 

HI.... looking good bro.

 

Very nice! You do some good work.

 

You guys are too funny.

 

Dude this whole HI! thing is starting to get on my nerves....

 

HI!

 

lmfao trying to send him over the "EDGE"?

 

HI!... It's made by SEM. It's a spraybomb but the paint is like a dye and penetrates the plastic.

 

HI! looks good man.. wish i could do a center console. books this semester are kicking my ***!

 

HI!... Well I finished the install today. I glued the rear console air vents shut so no one would play with them and possibly break them. They are quite fragile. I also made a filler panel for where the HVAC controls were. Here's a few pics :

HI!...Looks awesome, nice work!

 

HI!...


Why would you add that? I got thinking and you about going fast. Wouldn't that add a lot of unnecessary weight?

It looks real good though.

 

HI....Thing turned out damn good.
