    Got this out of a 90 something escort. Fit perfectly and lines up with the Steeda Tri-Ax shifter. Cleaned and painted it black to match

    I took off the armrest section of it because with the slope of the trans tunnel and the way the console was origionaly in the car it had about 3 inches of air under it lol.

    The console looks great, nice job. Now all you need is a steering wheel and you're all set!

    You mounted your gauges in the front of the console just I did. Looks awesome & functional to boot....

    Yea it looked like it could fit and for under $20 i figured why not play! I used it since i have an autometer tach and speedo in the stock locations and needed to put the gauges somewhere. The guy that owned it before me did a hack job to the carpet to mount a shifter so i wanted to cover it instead of dropping more money for a carpet (since it was brand new when he cut it up and is till less than a yr old). Could get a hold of the granada console which looks trick so i did my own!

    Do you have a picture of the entire console once you were finished working it? What did you about the area where the e-brake handle was?

    Thanks!
