Default Ashtray Door??

Becides the fact that i hate the thing i never use it and im to lazy to fix it. Does anyone have any good ideas of what to put there. I know they make switch panels but my car isnt a 7 sec drag car so i realy dont see the point for switches. Thanx in advance for any ideas!

On my red 89 GT my ash lid was not working.
Went to a junk yard saw a blue
89 or so mustang. I took out the bolts
on the old one and removed the console (easy).
Since I did not want to paint the console I broke off the
tab and spring that allows the lid to hinge and paid $1.

At home I took off my red console. Ysed a big hot
soldering iron and melted the blue tab into the
red housing. And now I have a new hinge and spring.

Works fine.

they sell switch panels to go in the ash tray area or you could just buy the ash tray fix kit from 50resto
