Can you please take some more pics showing a few differnt angles and possibly something not so zoomed in? A clock would be pretty handy in my lib.. and somewhere to keep my sunnies.

I think the clocks work in the factory, but the components fall of the circuit board when they're shipped over. Most likely the particular resonance of vibration from the ship's propeller superimposed over the droning from the main engine subsystems...

Anyway, we simply fix them, properly. Well, it's actually ME that fixes them, but Rick does the handling and the liaising and the passing the clock to me and saying "make it work"...

Looks good guys. I've been meaning to get stuck into a roof console for the L - it can't be that hard!

I've also been meaning to replace the lining in my L that's been on a holiday, make a rear cargo thingy and a... and... and... :rolleyes:

Nice! Where did you source that console from? I have a jdm, 1997 outback grand wagon with all the goodies, and it doesn't have one of those :(

Hey Mate, It is out of a ,, about a 2000 forester , give or take a couple of years or so. You might have the same roof console as i have just put in mine, ( Rick's Outback ).

Yeah Rick.. that console looks to be out of the 97 to 01 Forester. Looks like it was made for your car. I also like how you still hang your sunnies off the visor :p

This car has now been passed on to another family member , since ross now has the gen2 . We are finishing the auto to manual change. It was all up and going , but things like the cruise control wont work . So out comes the entire wiring harness from the B pillar to the front bumper . In goes a manual harness , clutch pedal as it has the cancel switch for the cruise control . As the motor was a 3 plug wiring , off come the intake and on with a 2 plug to match the manual harness. It funny really, well i think it is , both gen 1 cars, one is a series 1 and one a series 2 , yet different . Even the guards are different. So we are finding out.

Now starting to fit the manual harness back in .
