After some thought, I am now embarking on a plan for the center console. It will consist of 2-3×3 tubes welded together. The shifter will be placed somewhere towards the end of the top tube. 1st I need to bolt the bottom tube to the main seat brackets

I now have a new slide show on the new “MR2 VW Bug pics page 6” page. MR2 VW bug pics page 6

Work on the center console continues. I am trying to determine where the MR2 shifter and parking brake handle will be located as well as how to build the console itself. My plan is to use 2 3×3 inch steel tubes with the top tube longer than the bottom one. The top tube will be longer so that I will have a little play on where to mount the shifter.
