Well hey everyone time to show you a project that I have been working on for the passed 3 weeks plus now and still going. Didn't want to post and ending up it being a failure. So here we go.

Well been talking Eric aka lowdownthrowdown who previously tried to make a the left side and was short for some air space.
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...r=asc&&start=0

Both our purposes to this project was to keep our spares.
What i did to get more airspace was extend to the bottom right down the bottom left to the inside and at the top right through the skinny part.

here are a couple of pics starting the taping and where i would start glassing.











here now is it out of the trunk took me and 2 other guys to get it out cuz it was stuck to much and how i was glassing it in was against the wall with many awkward positions



here is some pics of it after i think 2 or 3 layers




now for the 1/2 mdf that would be placed on the top




and just recently about 5 days ago i sound deadened the inside





And just today finally had the time to cut the holes for subs because i got one sq10 for fitting.





And before it got dark finished the rings that keep the subs in but for got to take pics of the rings so all i have are these haha just glued em


And for the input if your wondering.


Well will keep this updated, if you got any questions or comments please do

Thanks,
Jeremy




Update 9:28 PM PST

pics of it in the trunk



mdf glued on to the fiberglass (the luxury of weights haha)







Update 03/30/08

the glue has finally dried and holding it to see if it holds


last and final hole to fill


and the last ever fiber glass that i will ever do in my life hahah

 

whoa props to you for doing it yourself (I cld never do that) def watching this.

 

thsi is gonna be pretty nice........I was drawing up the same kinda idea but due to the amount of time to do it scrapped it till summer.

 

*watching*

 

watching looks really cool.

 

looks nice!

I'm going to start my back right side today.

I see we both bought the same resin. ;]

 

Where did you buy the in puts at?

Also, did you buy the sound deadening somewhere local to you? I don't want to have to wait to get it shipped >.<

 

haha well maybe we shop at the same place. most of the supplies that bought were at home depot.

the inputs i bought at a local audio shop

and the soundeadening i bought at homedepot. the brand name is the same as all the supplies i used called bondo like resin body filler and so on. if you want the name of it its called rubberized coating and on the back it specifies that it sound deadens. you can also use the 3m verison all the same thing.

will have updates later today gonna start glassing the mdf to the glass

 

home depot!

That's where I bought ALL my stuff, haha. (I just bought a bunch of stuff to paint my interior)

How much time have you dropped on your project so far?

 

I take back what I just asked, lol.

 

updated pics on first post

 

awesome. i lvoe seeing people do it themselves!!

 

Update

the glue has finally dried and holding it to see if it holds


last and final hole to fill


and the last ever fiber glass that i will ever do in my life hahah


tomorrows agenda body fill small crevasses then sand everything smooth. and if i have the time i will start the first layer of spray paint

 

you doin the other side too?

 

about the right side

i pre planned buying it from lowdown as a back up so that for sure i would have working subs if the left side didn't go right. also now that i have seen how much time this is taking, the itchiness, and my garage turning into a winter wonderland (garage is open lol not planning on hot boxing resin) with all the sanding of fiberglass its just easier that way and good back up plan. and if your wondering about how each one will probably look different remember its stealth subs and only thing that will be showing will be the subs or something

so ya more updates later today probably going to do the first coat of black after sanding.

 

Pictures of the done box

 

watching for sure!
looks awesome so far!

 

Updated

Test fit with all parts for the trunk and cut off the extra upholstery on the back left for flush fit. here are some pictures

 

looks real good. your not the only person to do a fiberglass project and then vow never to do it again.

 

haha well it was fun just too time consuming but hell i would do it again if i have the free time and extra money again.

Update just sound deadened it and finished first layer still gotta figure out where i can put another layer because tire is getting atlittle tight with the soundeadening
