OK, thanks to Townie (aka welding guy) the tunnel is mostly done. Sure it doesn't look too pretty, but it's strong so that's the main thing.
More photos here.
The gearbox will be coming out in the next week or two, depending when Mr Toyota decides to send me the parts I ordered, at which point I'll paint the tunnel inside and out with etch primer, then cover it in that nasty black tar stuff, then fill the remaining small gaps with some kind of goo, then paint over the top. Once the carpet goes back you won't see most of the new sections of tunnel, and the centre console will cover what's left. As you can see from the photos the console doesn't quite fit properly and will need to be hacked a bit to accomodate the new shifter position, but that's not a big deal for me. Me have six speed, me happy.
Now I just have to pull a wad of cash out of my ass so I can afford a new tailshaft and custom fuel lines.
