Looking good mate, nice work.
Head up though, the pieces you are using for the top of the fridge box and top of your drawer box will be inherently weak due to the direction you have run the grain. The top of the fridge box may not see much load but the top of that draw box almost certainly will. Bouncing Load will break that in half much quicker than you think.
I'd be replacing that piece with some 15mm ply. If your committed to your 19mm board then run the grain the other way as it will span that no trouble. Looks good though mate.
Why did you not put the little fuse board in the box behind the switch panel? I assume the switch panel will clip out? To allow easy access to the fuses? With the fridge in place the fuses will be hard to get to regardless so inside that switch box would be a winner. I assume that box is empty?
What is the left side bottom slot for? The table on the right what's on the left?
Cheers mate, the photos look great.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Also, Repco sell switch labels for those Carling Switches in a sheet for a few dollars on their Narva stand. Alternatively eBay will sell a sticker sheet too
And another comment.... I have 3 cig plugs in a similar location in my GUIV. Make sure you can plug stuff into them and still be able to close the door without smashing your plugs. It will be close.
I have my fridge plugged in via an Anderson Plug which is a much better connection and use those plugs for external LED lighting and for charging the phone etc. they are straight off the second battery so no ignition is required. I run an extension lead I made from there out to the tent for tent lighting at night when touring. Being able to lock the car is a winner and still run the lead.

Thank bud
The switch panel comes off easy so I can get to the fuses
The slot on the left fits my BBQ, tarps and a few bits and bobs.

Awesome. I would think about relocating that fuse box into the switch box so that when your travelling you dont hve to worry about stuff stacked on top of it. gets all those electrical connections covered and protected especially given that they are all Positives.
Looks good mate

Looks good , I'd unbolt the bottom seatbelt bolt and tuck them back through the plastic piece up the top.
Just looks a tad neater.
Are you fitting /making a cargo barrier??
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

We have our first kid on the way. So I plan to get one in before the baby comes along.
