Has anyone ever swapped an AU Console into an EA? If so, how difficult is it? Also, do they use a single console with a swappable insert for manual or Auto? i ask that last bit coz i have access to a wrecked AU Auto Motor is already earmarked for my EA at some point!), but it was an auto, and my beasty is a manual

Weli I ripped it out of the parts car yesterday, and was planning to have bit of a fiddle, and maybe a trial fit today, but it has been suggested I do housework instead by the minister for war and finance
 Meh, if I get the chance i'll give it a whack

Had a quick look/test fit. didn't fit, due to the piping for the rear vents. Took the pipes out, and it fits! Got to sort out mounting, and a little trimming and such, but i'm excited! My project seems to be coming together!

Guess I should get some pics happening, seeing as I got the bad boy in, and bolted down. just a little fine tuning, and she'll be tip top
