Looking good,

is it the idle speed contril valve thats playing up? would a good clean out solve it?

Thanks, cleaned everything, but still no good, but i think i may have found the problem, just need to source the item now 

Been a while since i have made an update, tbh i havnt really done much/been able to do much to the car, so i thought i would prep the car for my sound system, again will be slow, but its getting there 

A pair of 6x9's on the shelf now cut and fitted


I have also decided i want to build a false floor in the boot as its so uneaven and will make it annoying for my sub and amp to go in, so i though if im going through the effort of building it all i may aswell make it so i can keep my full size spare tyre so i am raising the floor 4" in total so not losing loads of space, i already have all the timber i need got it all from work for under £5 so was a bit of a steal really, heres how its coming along so far............
The boot before i started, the carpet has been removed 

Now i have a basic shape/outline for the structure of the false floor, looks like this......





I shall be doing more tomorrow, so it will hopefully like like something by the end of the day aha, thanks for looking

I'm really not a fan of 6x9s in the parcel shelf but I like everything else you have been doing so far.

I am planning on doing a similar thing with regards to the boot build, I intend to make a similar frame as yours but just sit it on the carpet where it comes only 2/3 of the distance from the back of the seats thereby leaving about 12 inches of full depth boot just inside, mount my 2 amps inside that along with my tools/survival kit etc with a lid, then sit my two sub boxes on top. Then have access from beneath to fix the sub boxes on with bolts and wing nuts so quickly removable via the bottom (when you know how). I'll keep an eye on this project.

By the way if you want to flog that tow bar I know someone who is looking for one.....

Thanks guys, yeah as for the false floor, im sort of working out what i want to do as i go along really  i have just realised i need to leave a gap from the seats to the frame/floor so my seats can still fold down, also im not really sure how/where to put my sub and amp, i want something different i dont just want a box sat on the floor if you get what i mean, so it should be rather fun planning all of it, but after work tomorrow hopefully i can crack on and get somewhere with it 
As for the tow bar, no im afraid i would like to keep it as i race motorbike's so i need to tow my bike on the back 
Cheers

Haha towing motorbikes is the same reason I need one! Thanks for the heads up about the folding seats, il bare that in mind when I design mine.

Cheers

you wanna get those bad boys covered up before someone decides they'd look good in their car with your parcel shelf still attached 

[Ferdinor]

Yeah i have been thinking about thta, what would you suggest i use? i have heard you can get a very thin material to put over them that doesnt effect the sound? Any ideas?
