Default My garage fabbed Custom Trunk Project

This is a project I have been trying to get to for the last couple years. Finished it in one weekend.

the carpeting
http://www.yourautotrim.com/80wideozite.html

the adhesive (same stuff I used in the door panels too)
http://www.yourautotrim.com/perhittrimad.html

the panels are made from 1/8" ABS plastic
















Started with a very clean stock trunk, so the only prep work was cutting out the stock jack attachments








Then I made some templates for the front, back and side panels








Then I cut and fit and trimmed the ABS panels








Then I added cut pile carpet that is made with no backing on it. It made it super easy to conform to all of the contours. It was glued right to the trunk floor.

Yup, headers are back in, and the car is back on the ground!!

the tight fit of the panels combined with the fact that the first 3 panels hold each other in......the last panel is held in by Velcro
