When stripping out the back of a corsa...obviously u take seats and other bits but what happens when u have the big drop between where the backs seat were and the floor (the bit where u put ur legs lol)
What have people done with regards to neatening up the back, i have an idea but not too sure.. I wouldnt mind putting a roll cage in (just for show) with some buckets..
Who off here has done this type of setup?
Cheers guys and girls

Lots of people use wood but I'm going to use perspex (lighter) and then cover it all in the same stuff that you cover sub boxes.

^ go-on my son 
you'll love the bloody racket it makes 
Ollie - think thick perspex will prob weight the same as MDF and cost a bit more.....
How do you guys secure the floors down? Hate to be in an accident with an MDF floor as a headrest ..... if you catch my drift
Shauny - that 'hole' for the rear passengers seat is a bloody good lugage place if you have no boot... keeps stuff secure... cans of oil, engien bits etc....
Spare wheel well is good for this too....

just remember that your taking the seats out to save weight ?, then putting it back in as false floor,
if your gonna go for a false floor daimos and stoney are neat jobs, (both got pics on websites i belive)
