Well, I've begun the winter mods. I know we may still get some nice weather, but I'm gettin antsy. Anyways, I took out the rear seats and started fabricating a box in their place. I intend to make the top open and close so i can mount a nitrous bottle in it. The nitrous will be the next "project".

 

Lookin good, keep us updated on the progress.

 

I'm am looking to do the same thing with my empty compartment, please keep up posted.

 

How far will your seat go back now?

 

Looks good.

Thanks everyone.

The seats can still go back as far as they are capable of. I actually used the mounts the rear seats rested on for the box, so there is just about the same amount of space between the front and rear seats.

Next weekend i will put the matching carpet over the wood pieces. I attached the latest pics.

 

Well it looks great, keep us updated.

 

looks good, good work

 

instead of the audio stuff i would turn it into a bed put some nice carpeting back there an *ummp**ummp*

 

I like. Where do you plan on getting the carpet from to match the rest of the interior?

 

I actually found some at Murray's Discount Auto Store. They have rolls in 3' x 6' amounts in quite a few different colors. Pretty cheap too ($12).

 

looks awesome. cant wait to see the finished product. let us know if you will be producing them. I would be interested.
thanks

I see you are not concerned with the added weight.

 

that is what a power adder is for.

 

Looks like it is still lighter than the factory rear seat. BTW did you fit a no2 bottle in it while you were building it? What size bottle are you going to use?

 

As far as weight is concerned, it is still lighter than the seats/seatbelts. I used 1/4 inch plywood to help keep the weight down. I don't think it is quite strong enough to support someone sitting on it for any extended amount of time, but I don't want anyone sitting back there anyways.

Regarding the nitrous bottle, I didn't dry fit any specific size so I'm not exactly sure how big (or small) of a bottle i will be able to fit, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I did keep a template for the pieces I cut out, so maybe I can reproduce them, but I'll wait and see how I feel when I am completely finished.

 

I would buy one if you made em....

 

Well, I am finally done....for the most part at least. There are still a couple cosmetic things I want to do to the inside to make it look a little more clean.

 

looks clean. Wanna sell me a kit?

 

honestly I thouhgt it was a dumb idea but daamn that looks good. I was just gona lay the bottles on the floor but that was a great Idea I may have to make one myself. Id like to see a pic with the bottles in it.
