Yeah, that's what I figured, but I consider any new member here with a low contribution to the forum a noob till proven otherwise. ;)
But please, don't let me derail the thread. There is some great stuff happening in here, looking forward to the further progress and project log.
Makes me jealous, I almost had a Sega GT 1-seater cab that I would have done the same thing to, but the timing was bad due to being laid-off...(for the record, I would have thrown a new LCD into it too...and definitely keep the Nanao as a back-up for my NAC). :D
Carry on :cheers:

yes and you would know with a little elbow grease and skilled hands you can modify the bezel for a tight fight :)

Spent a few hours on the cab this afternoon before the sun went down:
Side plastic fell over in the wind, so brittle it just smashed.
Plastic welded and bogged the damage
Rails were not the same bolt pattern so I drilled and tapped new holes etc
Seat base painted
Bezel cut with a knife and ruler to get flat for LCD
All cut ready to be cleaned up
Speaker grills cleaned and painted
Foot base, removed old vinyl and glue, painted ready for new rubber etc
Fitted the seat to the freshly painted frame. I used a hard wearing gloss black enamel, will take a few days to harden.

You did all that in a few hours! I spent a few hours on mine this afternoon as well and didn't get anywhere near that much done.
I noticed in you first pic you had a versus city cab in the background. I also have one in my garage which I will work on after my driver twin is finished. Is yours working or is it going to be another project.
