Got sick of the MDF boards rubbing and bouncing around when driving, so armed with some spare time and some spray paint, I carried out this:
In primer:
and colour coded arden blue:
Really need those buckets to finish off the inside

It was black before, sanded it down re-primered and painted arden blue
Love the road noise, and the fuel pump whirring away. Much prefer it to seats etc in the back, plus I have somewhere to mount the harnesses for the seats when I get them.
Yeah, bonus it's now a 2 seater, sorry chaps taxi it is

how did you not get any spray on the interior, did you mask it up? what about the seats

Took all the rear cards/plastics out and put the front seats forward and tilted forward.

That's way better mate, black looks boring I reckon.
A spare alloy would really set it off as well

@ Ste, the rear cards and plastics weigh nothing. Stripping out the sound deadening and rear seats/belts and buckles/fittings are the most weight in the back
