"My World is Fire and Blood"
i have one concern, it is kind of a big one....
i had a wrecked console myself and did a repair similar though not as extensive. I used a similar model plastic cement since the console is ABS plastic like for models.
the problem was over time with pressure on the arm rest the plastic split on the repair. now you can sand the back side and i would recommend a plastic sheet reinforcement on each joint. you can also melt the re-enforcement into the console with a soldering iron. anything to give the repair joint extra support.. I don't want you to finish the repair and then a few months from now a passenger gets out of the car, pushes on the console and the thing breaks on you(which is what happened to me). when mine broke the second time it split completely and i gave up and i got a replacement console that was 99% in one piece. by then all the reproduction stuff had come out and was able to replace the clock area, the lid and the ashtray, i also salvaged all the good stuff off mine and reused it and added a ashtray light as well.
Ah i just noticed in the last photos you used fiberglass reinforcement fabric. crossing fingers !
