Between the seatbelt buckle and center console = perfect drink holder.

The replacement door kits aren't that hot. When the peg that holds the door there breaks off, they want you to use a bolt to replace it(drill a hole, etc.)...

That's all fine and dandy except when you open the door and close the door the nut spins off....

So either constantly tighten the nut or don't use the door... or find a way to make the nut not move.

THE REPAIR KIT I got from 50resto.com doesn't have that sort of problem and mine has been on almost a year.

I got that one too. Did you have a broken peg that needed a bolt to be used?

Between the e-brake and the passenger seat. Best cup holder.. You can even slide it back for a tighter fit!

Well... I had my bottle of water where this cup holder will be and it seems like to me your forearm will hit it when your shifting the car and just knock it over? Anybody with a 5 speed that has this set-up?
