Title: boot interior restoration/modification Post by: jack_fc on May 09, 2007, 09:17:32 PM Gday all
I want to line the wheel arches inside the boot with carpet-like material (black). Does anyone know of a suitable material that is capable of moulding neatly to the guards (I've already thought of "frontrunner" - any other suggestions?). Advice on adhesive, method and source of material also sought. Also want to make inner trims for lining guards between wheel arches n tail lights (to be covered in same/similar material as above). Does anyone have a template for these, or do I make one? (I want to start at the join on the inner wheel arches). Advice on material sought - I thought 3 or 4 mm ply might be OK... All feedback gratefully accepted Regards, jack Title: Re: boot interior restoration/modification Post by: mcl1959 on May 10, 2007, 09:13:55 AM I did this many years ago and the way to make the templates is with cardboard and then transfer to wood when you have the shape right. From memory I used vinyl which stretches quite well when warmed to cover the arches.

you could also use fibreglass and MDF. then you can have all manner of funky shapes, subwoofers (if that's your thing) or little storage binnacles etc. Cheers Ed Title: Re: boot interior restoration/modification Post by: jack_fc on May 14, 2007, 11:57:13 PM Ken and Ed
