I fitted a bulkhead (plywood) today, i made it myself and firstly covered it in 12mm thick underlay matting for sound deadening and then covered it in black acoustic carpet.

Image

I set the bulkhead back to allow the seats to recline and also to give me a little storage space behind the seats.... I covered the exposed floor with the same underlay and acoustic carpet....

Image

(just got to trim the acoustic carpet once the glue has dried).

I also took out the headlining and painted it black to match the acoustic carpet....

Image

The A pillar covers were painted black aswell...

Image

Door cards are next on my list to do, get them covered.

cheers

I'll do some pictures. This is very much work in progress at the moment. Vale fitted the springs that were custom made. Perfect fit on the connect legs and top mounts. The rear was set on the middle setting and is low. Slightly arse down if anything, but it is being left to see if the springs settle. If not, I'll raise it on the adjusters.
