GREAT work!!!!

Good luck in your new neighborhood. Changing sucks, but usually good things come out of the change.

Nice work so far. The center console lid is a super common issue. I THINK--when someone opens the lid there's nothing to stop it from over extending it, and the cheap thin plastic eventually breaks. It needs a "stop". The older fords had like a rope type stop on its lids going from the lid to the base of the console. After a certain point the rope would take the stress instead of the plastic.
Beautiful sunset. Good luck in your new adventures. Hoping you don't find anymore "friends".

Yea its all good. It took 100k to break so I should be good for another 100 lol. Stuff like that which just flings open never seems right to me so I usually let hold it while opening it. Same with the glove box, people olen and let it drop, I always guide it down. Even though those don’t break its a habit I have with things that open like that.
But I’m looking to replace that center jump seat eventually and get a full center console.

Thanks, time will tell but I’m positive and optimistic this time as long as the country doesn’t implode on itself I think I’ll be ok . Kind of a crazy weird time to move but I wasn’t going to push it off another year , then another, then another
