Well, havn't updated this in ages!! anyway some of you have properbly seen what i'v been doing over the last two weeks by the pics on facebook. But anyway over the past week or two i'v been building a false floor for the sub, i think its come out very well considering i havn't done anything like this before.
First thing i did was get the wood wich didn't cost me nothing as i got it of family member, the cut it to shape using the boot carpet as a template.
Then choped one of the side's of (so it would be easier to get it into the boot)
Then cut the door so i could still get to my spare wheel
Then got the sub out the box and cut the whole for the sub to fit (circly isn't perfect as i was getting p!ssed off with the cold weather )
but the sub fits snuggly so its all good
then i put it in the boot just to see what it looks like
So by now it just needed carpeting and lining up soooo...
yesturday (15/12/2011)
found some carpet and wrapped it up
but as you can see it was cream with overspray from where i was spraying arches. bumpers etc.
sooo....out came the paint
Then today (16/12/2011)
i painted the rest and fitted it all
Just need to finish the last little bit on the left and tidy up the wires then its done
Really happy with it tbh
comments?

Got the alloys yesturday but couldn't be arsed to put them on or check the tyres cause of the weather.
So today when i woke up i went out checked the tyres, two tyres as i knew were knackered the other two brilliant tred. but one of the tyres with tred on was flat -.- so put air in it n there's a puncture in it, not sure if its repairable because its near enough on the wall of the tyre -.- so 3 are knackerd 1 is fine but hey...can't complain for £50 aye but put the decent tyre and wheel on and one of the bald but inflated tyre on just to make sure i like them ahaha.
really pleased with them, need refurbing not sure what colour to have them though :/ anyone got any opinions on what colour to have them??
cheers
