Thats some very impressive mods you are doing and it looks like a factory install.Did you have to yank the tranny to make room for the welding?More pics from the back seat looking forward to dash please.
Take Care

i used a magnet under the car to hold stud in place then welded from top. one bolt ended up on a little bit of an angle {notices it to late} i used a counter sink bit to bevel the hole so the weld would not interfere with anything. i will post a pic of factory console later i removed a good part of it.

The more I see the pics, the more I want this in my car right now lol! The only thing I'm nervous about is the wiring. Not comfortable with that. Other than that, it looks pretty easy to put in.

the wiring is easy. on mine it was black- ground, green -shifter inter lock (did not use), gray- lights, brown -power port on side . the cig lighter i ran and tied into factory cig wires. the gray wire for lights and the black wire i hooked them up to ash tray lights
