i hate the wires and i hate the dip where you sit your bum!

has anyone got any sizes for a thin bit of mdf to cover from the rear to the back of the front seats??

the reason i put cloud and simo as these are the only people i kno who have done this. have you got any pics aswell??

much appriciated

Sizes buddy just just measure from one end to the other with a tape measure...., I cant get you the sizes because mine has been carpeted so i cannot give you the size before the carpet was added. Seriousley it isent hard, measure it up and take a trip to b and q, ask them to cut it as the sizes you want. If it's to small just put extra layers of carpet on it... It will eventually lodge in pretty tight.

Ill get you a pic in 5 seconds.

yer but theres the curvy bit and how do you get the wood to curve into it??

[James]

What curvy bit are you talking about? at the back of the car?

[Hazza17]

yer the bit at the very back and the bit going into the rear door cards

[James]

I did mine with 2 bit's of MDF buddy, i made one for the back bit and one for the front. If you cut it at the right point the wood will just slot into the 'corner' because if you look carefully it isent actually a curve it's just a straight bend.

Edit : If you do it like i did it you will notice at the very back of the car there is a curve, see the 3rd picture, I made a piece of wood and sanded it down so it fitted in the gap, capeted over it and slotted it in. Over the next week im going to be joining all 3 bit's of wood by carpeting over them all at once. I rushed it a bit.

Your best bet is to rip the car down to its bare insides, take the sound proof etc out and measure your 2 bit's of wood.

[Hazza17]

wicked cheers. what bout the curvy bit at the back?? lol

[ets2k9]

This is my next job so I'd be interested in some pics aswell. :thumbup:

[jaybiss]

use your boot carpet as a template

[James]

wicked cheers. what bout the curvy bit at the back?? lol

Read my post i just added how to do that :P, just get some wood glue and attach some wood together :)

[Hazza17]

use your boot carpet as a template

oww yer :oops:

[Hazza17]

Read my post i just added how to do that :P, just get some wood glue and attach some wood together :)

what is your post called??

[Hazza17]

what i did today post??

[James]

But hazza, i would be careful about what your doing to be honest... If you take the sound proof out you will hear the zaust rattling and hear any stones that hit he underneath of the car. When i go to carpet all mine toghether over the next week etc im putting my sound proofing back in...

I gather you dont care about the weight of the back seats being out because you wouldent be MDF'ing it all off :P

[James]

Anyhow i got to go out and take the misses work so i shall talk to you later Hazza, what ive said is a bit rushed. Ill give you a better guide later :)

[Hazza17]

cheers mate

[Hazza17]

that looks lush with the blue strip down the middle!!!

have you done it like cloud?? as in split it into two bits??

and how did you make the bit nearest the front seats to fix down??

thanks

[droopster]

Just out of curosity why are you doing all this if you might lose your lisence? I;d wait and see what happens first.

[Hazza17]

why not?? lol

[James]

Well if your banned there's no point in keeping the car, i think thats what he's getting at and its what we are all thinking.

[Hazza17]

not getting banned tho its just my licence being taken away then im back on the road

[James]

Well that's your choice isent it, But youv'e ripped the old interior out now so if you have to sell the price is going to seriousley drop...., That's just a wee bit of advice. Couldent you of kept the back seats in with the bucket seats? My mate did it in his 1.1 and it got through MOT's etc fine... Im just wandering why you have taken them out? got a massive install planned etc?
