Hiya everyone. After fitting my spacers, my back end was scraping when I took passengers in the back so I thought THATS IT, time to strip the rear, lol. But because I knew Id miss my sound system too much I had to think of a compromise. And this is. Hopefully this thread will show you some of my progress on my boot build. Its nothing special, minimal materials are used so its still lighter then when it used to have seats, and i'm not into the whole fiberglass crap. so here are the photos. Enjoy, ask questions, comment and criticize
DAY 1
Firstly I got rid of the parcel shelf, rear seats and hid the seat belt clip things:
Then I got rid of the spare wheel (OMG that thing weighs a ton!!), jack and other crap that was in my spare wheel well. Also took out the carpet.
Because I wanted a completely flat floor, I had to angle grind off a bracket on both sides. so that I could lay the wood flat:
Then I was off to B&Q to buy some wood. Once I had the wood, I made a frame for the spare wheel well. This is how the frame looks like:
DAY 2
Using the original carpet as a template, I sketched out the outline of the boot onto the piece of mdf. And cut the 12" hole in it for my sub. Here is one of the panel:
And one with the sub fitted:
With that now done, I had to think of a good place to mount the Amp. Originally I was just going to have it sitting on the floor under the passengers seat, but then I've decided I might as well show it off as well. So I cut and folded back some of the carpet above the rear seats, and placed the apm there:
