More Tunnel Panel Work

Managed to get almost 5h (split in two sets) of work on the car today! Lots of panel work done. Started by using some sheets of paper to draw how the cut had to be shaped for the reverse box lever. Also marked where I had to cut for the gear lever, previously forgotten.

Then went to the storage room and did the cutting and drilling that required the driller. That was the circular cut for the reverse box handle and the holes on the speed sensor holder. Bent that piece of metal and ended up with the part below.
Switched to the dremmel with cutting and deburring disks and did the rest.
The frontal part of the tunnel top required a hole on the left side because the car is LHD. Also cut the top part off so that it does not conflict with how I routed the electrical cables through the tunnel and into the back of the dash.

In between went to the car a couple of times to trial fit. It was great to see it in place. The hole for the reverse box lever still needs to be done a bit longer, since when the lever is up (in reverse) it fouls the metal. But it was a great working session!
