[QUOTE="martiandancer31, post: 7715732, member: 616516"] ha!! That's excellent!! To answer your questions: fiberglass is a bi0tch. This is actually the first time I've worked with it but it's expensive, messy, and somewhat difficult. The hardest part isn't really laying the glass itself, so much as it is making molds of stuff you want to make molds of. If you do use glass i'd highly recommend you use the stuff from uscomposites as opposed to the garbage they sell at lowe's, home depot, and auto parts stores. In my case, the seats were not bolted to the crossbars. There's two bolts on the floor of the car and four clips running along the top, and that's all that holds the back in. If you're going to seal the trunk off, i'd highly suggest sub forward and port forward, otherwise you're just going to rattle the trunk lid around. Mine's not actually perfectly sealed, but I might fix that if I get really ambitious. Biggest question - no. Sadly, i can't get at the strut towers in the back. Really ****** too because when I needed to change an air-assist shock in the back I actually had to cut a hole in my box [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] good luck on your build and post up when you get something built!!
