Console with added height

Those who remember this thread http://rib.net/forum/showthread.php?t=31230 about me wanting to raise the height of my console will remember Steve (Endeavour) offered to make a mold and extend the height with fibreglass.
Steve didn't hang about and here's some photos' that he sent me.
Grand job Steve, looking forward to fitting it now!

Decided to dry fit things to the console today to have a break from glassing things. I'm making the back of the console at the moment and the fumes are driving me normal!

Steve (Endeavour) did a great job of making a new bottom for the console to raise the height.

Glass needs a bit of sanding and once the back is made and in place it's going to have an extra layer. Decided against having a back that can be removed to take the tank out.
