[QUOTE="idiot, post: 1070683, member: 550902"] I first built this box about six months ago. But when I slid in the box, I noticed that the back seat wouldn’t close properly (the mold had deformed with subsequent layers). At the time, I didn’t really care, since I had no time to repair it. But now that summer is slipping away, I've finally forced myself to reshape that side and fix that defect... as well as add a few other things... Getting that nice fit, courtesy of body filler: [IMG]http://img281.imageshack.us/img281/5705/dscf00589fb.jpg[/IMG] Disgusting, isn't it? [IMG]http://img281.imageshack.us/img281/2678/dscf00593cz.jpg[/IMG] It was a war between man and carpet: [IMG]http://img281.imageshack.us/img281/7917/dscf00663ys.jpg[/IMG] But I think I won: [IMG]http://img281.imageshack.us/img281/1761/dscf00674ze.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img281.imageshack.us/img281/7669/dscf00688bh.jpg[/IMG] And I carpeted the backside, this time: [IMG]http://img281.imageshack.us/img281/6040/dscf00696re.jpg[/IMG] I also moved my amps from beneath the front seats into the spare tire well. This freed up tons of leg room for the back seats. Of course, in order to do this properly, I had to fabricate a false floor, since the stock one was unsuitable.
