SiCaln Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 weve got the same ice equipment there buddy good work, u n your brother make a good team, I've just got some black stuff to cover the back of my seats hope to do that in the next few weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Thanks guys! Keirz man i get it from a local motorsport accessories shop who keep all sorts of things for ice etc etc.ok tonight we got the boot finished, that just leaves where the rear seats were, the front door cards and wot we're up to with the 6x9s. I need another couple of rools of carpet which is a bastard at £25 each, so in total the parts to make this instal will cost WELL in excess of £200/£250...now considering i had the wood already in the garage and was GIVEN the amp and sub and half the wires and am usin a loaner head unit from fogdog until mark puts his back in i have to say HOLY FUCK i never expected it to hurt my wallet this much! At least 3 rolls of capret, 3 fibre glass kits at £12ish each, 2things of glue at £5each (will probably need more for front door cards!), sound deadening at £100, powercable wasnt cheap etc etc etc it just goes on and on and on!!! ITS RIDICULOUS!!!!!anyway, onwards!Project Boot - Stage 3 continuedStep 21: get your ass more fibre glass and apply to floor edge boards to secure to main floor board Step 22: once hardened trim away any upstanding fibresStep 23: get your ass some copydex adhesiveStep 24: apply copydex generously to floor and fit carpet, trimmin where necessaryStep 25: cut hole in carpet for sub and slice slits for amp wiresStep 26: fit amp and using a needle or skewer or pin tap the screw holes in the carpet to the pre-drilled screwholes in the floor (do NOT tap using screws straight away as it will make a total mess of the capret). Fit screwsStep 27: connect wires to ampStep 28: connect wires to sub and fit and screw down to floorStep 29: Stand back and admire your (brother's) handy work!!!!!Step 30: Turn it on and ROCK OUT!!!!!!!!Goin to buy more carpet tomorrow to allow us to continue on with where the rear bench used to be and the front door cards. thanks for readin this boot project, hope it can be of use to someone else someday! we had a total ball doin this as its the first thing like this we'e ever tried! never used fibre glass before but u learn from your mistakes and u learn as u go along so if your a hands on kind of person like my bro is then give it a bash, I've detailed as much of it as is necessary (except for stuff like hooverin out dust etc before screwin down the sub).Phil.
