Rear seat delete

Rear delete kit required...

Got some 6mm ply wood as it was the lightest I could find and I am partly past caring for weight so much at this moment. So I made a paper template, cut 3 sections of ply wood


I then used some aluminium brackets bent at 135 degrees to sort the front section and then some hinges in the middle, the sections were then trimmed in carpet 



The back was then trimmed in black ultra suede to cover the inside plywood. I then coloured the staples in after the photo


I then installed the cover, was a pain to get it past the roll cage but after a few attempts I found how to install it but it was tight. Even the lid only opens till it hits the roll cage, not bother as I am not sure I will use the storage for much anyway







Now I need to make a boot carpet as the one I have is a little tatty having spent loads of time in the garage and being 13 years old. Then time to finish the pillars and time for a big clean inside, drivers seat and steering wheel - probably loads more too

More interior

With the roof liner all in sections the time came to bond it all together and fibreglass the rear to keep it all fixed together, the liner has been left in 2 sections which will be connected in the car when the unit is trimmed. The reason its in 2 sections else I would not be able to fit the liner about the roll cage


Rear panels have both been cut about the roll cage and trimmed in carpet also a tray from the R56 GP has been fitted and over the next few weeks I will make a cover.



Interior now looking so much more complete, things feel like they are really moving now
