I'd never really fibreglassed before and mine is ok - just plan exactly what you want to do and take the time to do it carefully.If you haven't seen the other pics of bob's install you should do so - his is far more professional looking than mine.

Mind you your job is still excellent also and leaves the boot nice and neat with the amp hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are being glued as we speak. The right hand one will work like the factory piece, foam underneath , covering and allowing easy access to the jack.The rear part of the boot (looking in) will utilise the factory carpet (which matches the stuff I am using beautifully) All I have to do is make a nice straight edge to meet the enclosure.Chris.

I didn't want to sacrifice my spare wheel, so I went with the option to lose some boot space. Still plenty of room left for my big cricket bag or golf clubs. They just cop a LOT of reverb now...

So far all the pieces all the top and sides are covered in carpet.I went down to Bunnings on the way home from work to buy some foam - I though you would be able to get in in the section where they sell rubber and carpet from the rolls. No deal. All the bottom/lower sections will be covered in foam to stop movement and rattles and any possible scratches.Anyone know where I can get some - I'll try Clark rubber I think.Very kewl setup there, Ghia!

I still wanted to have the split rear seats which was a big contributor to this style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
