Restoring the Center Console | Range Rover Classic - EP 20

About the end of summer 2021 I had a second hand center console shipped to me. I was stoked to finally get my hands on one, since my Rangie never had one to begin with. In this part 1 I break apart the unit into the individual components.

Hey all you cool cats and kittens. Thanks for popping by. Planning on finishing up this project sometime over the next month. Enjoy!

[@lionelfelix6631]

This is the exact thing I will be doing on my 91 I just bought. Super helpful. I like the Tom Sachs vibe of the video.

[@WorkingAxle]

Thanks Lionel! Not familiar with Tom Sachs! I'll have to look him up

[@ccampbellcpa]

Are you going to use staples too? The suspense is killing me!

[@WorkingAxle]

Hahaha all will be revealed!

[@nealcarpenter7364]

Love the sticker I ordered. It has found a home on the back window of my 95 LWB.

[@WorkingAxle]

Hey hey! Thanks Neal! You helped me to keep putting gas in this monster!

[@jcadventure65]

When are you going to have part 2?

[@WorkingAxle]

Ahh! Good question! Been bogged down with other jobs at the moment but would love to have part 2 completed in the next month or so!

[@904pickleball6]

Good stuff! Looking forward to see how you repair the top plastic frame behind the switches. 93 LWB here, similar issues.

[@WorkingAxle]

Hey hey! Thanks for watching! Still tryna figure out the best work around! May end up reinforcing with meatier plastic or even aluminum bracing! 😅

[@904pickleball6]

@@WorkingAxle I need to clean up the hinge area on mine, corner cracked. Yours looks better. Yes, my rover guy mentioned a similar possible fix, like that.

[@aarondwyer3746]

I love you

[@ThePhotonHD]

Would you mind sharing the dimensions of the switch plate?

[@WorkingAxle]

Hey hey! I don’t have them off hand, but I’ll see about getting some measurements later this week!

[@tomlovinggood265]

How did you get the center console off the transmission hump?

[@WorkingAxle]

Search for all the screws and clips you can. Also remove the cap off the shifter so you can pull the rest of the plastic bits over the knobs.

[@vtm914]

I finally got around to watching this. What’s the status on the center console? Mine it sitting in a corner of the garage waiting for attention- not sure my game plan yet, probably some JB Weld and/ or fiberglass reinforcement. Looking forward to seeing your solution for the vinyl.

[@WorkingAxle]

Hey Hey! It's been a minute since I've touched this, but I'd like to get back around to it. Just other jobs that are pressing at the moment. I did do a little vinyl wrap but it was unsuccessful. Think I'll need a different adhesive. But I'll definitely being doing an updated video on the work soon I'm sure!

[@aakash15sharma]

Which site did you find the crashed RRC? im looking for the front windshield for mire

[@WorkingAxle]

Connected with a guy on a facebook group. Not sure which one. But if you do a search, there are several with good knowledge on maintenance and care. Some with 30k + members.

[@aakash15sharma]

@@WorkingAxle I'm on that group already. Haha. Just asked it on the group. Let's see I'm lucky

[@matthewmoisan899]

Waiting to see what you used as new leather - impossible to find a match! I've heard hammered grey Rustoleum is close ...

[@WorkingAxle]

I’ve found a good little marine vinyl on Amazon. Seems to be a close match! We’ll see what it looks like once it’s next to the original plastic!
