Title: False Floor
Post by: Wizzkidd on 08 March 2008, 17:20

Hey everyone

i know this is a rubbish question but can anyone tell me how to make a falsh floor in the boot for my 1994 mk3 golf?

i need it to cover the spare wheel well as iv ditched the spare wheel and carry round a can of tyre weld.

gotta make some sacrifices right? :P

Cheers everyone WK

if you feeling very technical you can make your false floor as stated above and then hinge it in the midde so you can still access the spare.

Iv never seen custom made false floors to buy. Theres a business idea for someone.  :rolleyes:

bolting down generaly isnt necessary as all of the extra weight on the board and the exact fit of the new false floor makes it stay in place.

is you sub box screwed to the false floor from underneath to stop it flying around???
does it all come out ok?
i was thinking of making a false floor and securing my subbox but i thought it would be an utter pain in the arse to get the spare wheel out with a perfectly fitting MDF floor and 12" sub box in there.

I have mine straped in as my sub did not come L brackets it came with straps.
It does come out ok have to fold the rear seats forward then lift it out at an angal. Or you can build it and cut it it half and the carpet it it two parts so then it it easyer to get out if you want!!! I though would go for form over function as how offen do you get a flat tyre copared to how offen you open your boot??

Not sure if this will help, may fit, also havent read the whole post so not completely sure if your looking to just make a flat bed boot space or utilise the space!!

Cheers

I was thinking of using the spare wheel well as the base for my 12" sub box, and just building up around it into a cone shape with some lighting inside the cone so you can see the sub  :cool:
