818 glove box?

[Quiny]

Anyone considering adding a glovebox of some kind? I was thinking of something under the passenger side dash, maybe with a magnetic catch? Has anyone come up with anything?

I'm in the planning stage of a glove box and it looks obvious with the top edge of the door at the seam between the upper and lower parts of the dash. I'm planning a hinge on the 1-inch frame. I'll come back with a drawing soon. It looks easier than the glove box I put in my roadster.

That's definitely on my list of things to do after I get mine registered. There's enough empty space under the passenger side dash for something small. I 'm leaning toward a box with access hidden underneath, rather than cutting the dash and trying to make it presentable. Enough space for registration, Cobb AP, and a few other small things is all I would want.

Here's my glove box. I've got to re-do the inside of the door. The thing on the inside left is a USB input for audio.

man that looks clean. did you detail out how you did your center console somewhere?

[tmoretta]

I re-used the Subie console box/arm rest to mount in the 818 between the e-brake handle and the firewall. Worked well, enough room for a cap and maybe driving gloves.

Wow! nice work. Was that the plastic dash or the fiberglass one?

[svanlare]

Wow, would love to see more of that fit out, looks like an top notch job.

Yes I want to see more of that interior! It looks incredible.

Man that is a real glove box!!

[AZPete]

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I've never done interior finishing before so it's been a challenge, but fun to learn. I've done a lot of the pieces twice (or thrice!) and wasted a few yards of material. Seats are leather and other surfaces are matching vinyl. Dash is the early 2-piece fiberglass one. I'll post more pictures when I have re-done the E-brake cover, which is another piece I'm doing twice. Then on to the sides and floors. I wonder if I'll be able to do something just once!

[svanlare]

I'll be happy when mine runs, much less looks like the snapshot you have shown so far. But if it is any help, each time I get something done the little voice in my head keeps saying "this is going to so much easier next time".

[Hindsight]

I'll I wonder if I'll be able to do something just once!

If you figure it out, please share the secret.

looking great Pete, fancier that my mind's vision... I plan on an oak laminate across the flat surface with a simple flat oak door. Oak door inserts and oak facing for the top of the tunnel and face of the surface between the tunnel and the dash.

[AZPete]

I finally got the inside of the glove box door re-done so I'll add it to this old thread. And, more important, it is now called a "Factory Five brochure compartment".

I like it but I'm not going to copy it. I'm going for a more spartan look. Halfway between a race car and a simplified streeter.

[gpaterson]

Very cool indeed!

How did you make the standard dashboard fit? In the right hand drive the version the steering wheel is in a different position to the standard car and is too offset for the standard dash to be used? Do you have any other photos of the complete fitment?

Thanks
