83 TA Console Questions

Before I purchased the car, someone stole the new sterero that was put in it. No big deal to me, I just got another for $75. I fixed the busted window, but the punks sliced the whole left part of the console off to access the innards. How much of a console will I need to replace? They didn't remove a panel, they knived whatever there was.

On a side note, what's the best way for putting the labels back on the power window and power lock switches? I see new switches for sale but I thought there might be stickers I could use instead.

Thanks!

82-84 consoles were 1 piece so you will need a whole new console. I haven't seen any stickers for pw switches.

Grand Blanc, MI is where I'm at. I'd do the center console for $40 if that seems ok. Maybe too low or too high? Let me know what you think. I'd REALLY appreciate it if you'd help me install the thing! If you're close enough. Do you have a tach on that TA that you'd give up? I'm trying to locate one that's more accurate... or to confirm my car is going too high in 5th.
