almost finished cutting the wood for the back half, just gotta trim up a few places.
kinda sucks that i had to cut it in half otherwise it would fit.

why did you make so many cuts? its gona be hard to hide all the seams, or at least make it all even. you could have gotten away with just cutting it once, left and right side.... try again. :p

im gonna take care of it.
ive got more pics ill put up later.
the rear will be 2 pieces because you cant fit it in place as 1 piece.
the front 1/2 will be carpeted over so it will appear to be one piece.

if you cant hide the front good enough with the carpet since its cut exactly in half then a good idea would be making two little seperate doors for a lil storage option making it look like a oem storage place that came with the car.

heres some new pics.
the front will look fine once its carpeted, its actually 3 pieces because i cut the boards a little to short so i had to make a shim to fill the gap.
but its all connected with glue and screws so theres no way in hell its gonna separate. once the carpets on, youll never know its 3 pieces.
and id like to make storage compartments but theres really no point because i wouldnt even be able to lift them up all the way due to the harnesses.
not to mention that when heavy stuff falls on them it makes them even tighter and basically chokes you. haha

tomm. ill be taking care of all the small details that are left. there are still a few places that need a little trimming, and im gonna run to the hardware store to get all the screws and brackets i need to make sure everything is tight and it doesnt fall apart. also gonna look for the carpet at an electronics shop locally, if i cant find it there then ill just order it online.
