Ive got some Stag woods i made for mine, if you need patterns let me know,are you fitting electric windows to yours, and linking the interior light to the console lights

I'm fitting electric windows, but there's no room for the switches in the trad Stag position. That bulky shifter puts paid to that, the switches will be in the face panel, either beside or below the stereo. 1 each side but both just reachable by the driver.
Of course i'll link the footwell lights to the interior light, rude not to! I laid the wiring into the loom before I even had the console!
The radio panel MAY be a few mm shorter than the Stag original but otherwise the same shape and size. But i'm gonna start with a blank canvas as MOST of the stuff in the original I either don't have or is already someplace else, choke, heater controls, fan switch, faglighter and HRW switch. It's likely i'll have room for a couple of extra guages (but what to pick?) cupholders would be better on the outside, (folding in of course) another ashtray is decadent, but it'll be a bit bland with just the stereo and window switches!
Maybe I should go for a double DIN stereo with a fold out video screen and satnav built in!

Edit. I've had a quick offer up with 2 single DIN radio frames taped together and a double DIN stereo WILL fit, but only if nothing else at all is in the panel! Not the end of the world as I can fit the window switches elsewhere, possibly in the front face of the proposed armrest/cubby thingy
I've also had a quick trawl of ebay and found myself a used Pioneer double din stereo with a fixed 7" touchscreen and all the trimmings including Satnav for VERY sensible money. Others were available, but I trust Pioneer stuff, also I have a Pioneer 10CD stacker which, with luck, will be compatible with it!
