jamesleader Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Carpet and spray adhesive arrived today and with it being a really sunny day today decided to finally finish off my boot buildI'm really pleased with it as the false floor didn't cost much at all to build with pretty much the same soundAnd looks a lot tidier to original sub enclosureJames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesleader Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 After thinking about what i could do next i decided to have a go at some basic upholstery so decided to do my headlining in black suede, here's the results:Also in the process of spraying ceiling trim blackNext step i'm going to have a go at something a bit more challenging and re-upholster the door cards.James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle:) Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 niceee, looks good with the suede , was it hard to doo? im thinking of doing it in mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerjosh91 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Seude looks gooood! , did mine last month it's ok but a think al re do it , it's quite easy Michelle. I started from the visors and light cus there the trickest just take ya time and don't crease it, I stapled it on the other side give it some strength so it doesnt flop down.
