Did some more work on the console today, think I had a little more time on my hands than sanity! I didn't like the carpeted cupholder area, and needed to enlarge them anyways, so, I tore the carpet off, added a piece of wood that hung over the edges a bit to hide the carpet seams and put some Deck varnish that I had leftover from doing my deck last summer.





Now here is the too much time part. I wanted a way to keep the lid from flopping back and breaking the hinge. Soooo, looking around the garage I found an old RC truck that I had. Stole the rear shocks, shock tower, and front shock tower and came up with this!





It not only holds the lid open, but it holds it shut as well! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
