Default Center Console Cassette Delete

I got tired of trying to place things in the center console around the Cassette Dividers so, today I decided to remove the dividers to make the console compartment easier to organize.

It took me less than 30 minutes using some leftover black carpet I bought from PepBoys awhile ago. Here's some pictures.

Before


Dividers removed using a Dremel.


Stock carpet insert used for a template.


New carpet piece.


Completed console.


Now that's more like it!

That is a good idea. Looks like a project for the summer.

I've been thinking of doing this myself. It's good to see it turned out so well for you. Good job!

Be well,

Not here, the car probably won't be uncovered until April with the way this winter is going.

We don't need no stinkin' cassette storage!!!!!

I guess I can't poke fun at you if you still listen to cassette's (I hope you mean that you need it left alone for the integrity of the vehicle at shows ) .........considering........this post reminded me of listening to Ted Nugent, Boston, E.L.O. and a few others (ok a dozen or more of those "others") on the almighty 8 Track in an old Monte Carlo I had. I was listening to these in the mid '80's!

Funny thing about it is, I'm only a year older than you.

Yeah, I like the deletion of the cassette storage. Mine is a bit different looking......but......I can see the project for this Saturday (may even do it tomorrow).

The cassette delete looks good! I thought the beer cooler was the compartment behind the passenger seat? I keep reading about people having water back there, isn't that from all the melting ice?

Hmmm, mine doesn't have a cassette holder like the on in the pic. Mine has a removable tray with Velcro on the bottom to stick to the carpet. I'll see if I can get a pic of it. I actually use the tray to hold my change.
