Re: cup holders
A generic plastic cup holder fits nicely on the glove box door.

I haven't put the seats back in the car yet, so I can't say if they will work though.

Re: cup holders
I relocated everything in center of dash to below the dash in the center console. Then mounted the cup holders in center dash.
not sure I like the look

Re: cup holders
I made this one a few years ago, to hook over the driver's side map pocket. It works well, but I don't use it much - I'd rather drive!

Re: cup holders
Yeah for years I just stuck a can in the map pocket. Trouble was I'd have to shove some rags toward the front to keep the can from tipping forward.
My idea was to remove the map pocket, plug the holes with some of those HELP! hole covers and cut the hanger off the cup holder and attach it with some screws. The only problem is if the heater is on, my cold beverage does not stay cool.
I also made one for my Yugo. Before the Spider actually.

Re: cup holders
I fabricate a cup holder out of plexiglas. it mounts with a single screw under the dash. It swings out to use and back when not in use

Re: cup holders
I haven't tried one of these but it is interesting idea. Especially with modern blue tooth sound systems that work with Ipad or phones. No need for the radio.
