Started redesigning the trunk, includes pictures! Options

[bman]

Although I haven't been a member of 6GC very long the information I've found has saved me alot of time and aggravation! I figured the least I could do was give something back, because I dont think I'm the only person who has amessed up carpet in their trunk, especially in hatchbacks

I bought 3/4" plywood because i feel that anything less would warp over time and ultimatly cause me to do the work twice. I'm not cutting any corners on this. Some pictures were taken with my digicam and some with my cell phone, depending if i had my digi-cam handy or not.

The pictures speak for themselves and I'll be updating this thread as I get more stuff done. Right now It is on hold for a few days because I am waiting for the carpet to show up via snail mail. I have alot of nice ideas and I'm eager to share them with this community.

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Here is the trunk as it is now. It pretty much looks like an eye soar but that will be changing in the next few weeks.




The lumber -

I took the carpet out and stapled it to the plywood and used a sharpie to trace it





Carefully cut and and good to go!



Now my car has a nice pine smell w/o an air freshener! Not to mention a flat, smooth floor that will look great once the new carpet goes on it
