something Ive been meaning to do for 3 years, started on a rear "draw system".. although its more of a tool tidy / shelf at the moment.
the problem.. back of car continually looks like this
with a greater or lesser amount of car or bike bits on top too, and an aging dog who struggles to even get in, and steps all over things in there while were on the move.
the other problem is that anything I do to it here is probably illegal without special permission, so it has to be able to be very easily removable and seats back in for the annual test. I decided it basically just had to lift in and out over the top of whats there, at this point.
so it started out like this
and I basically built it with all the tools and stuff still there, over the top of them.
15mm marine ply for front and top
I settled on tight fitting, but lift out tops for the moment, I will be evolving it over time, but needed the car ready for use in 2 days so compromises were made on design lulz
however im actually quite happy with the result, given my lack of carpentery finesse it all ended up quite straight really, although I missed the car centreline by about 10mm lol
and had exactly enough bits left over to build a doggie ladder too.
am going to cover it in nondescript grey carpet to start with but its pretty strong, Im 85kg and bouncing on either side of it rocks the car not the woodwork, I would happily put 300kg of sand on there, its not going anywhere. ..thinking about carrying a vice that mounts onto it, maybe aluminium treadplates eventually, we'll see.
but I have so much more spare carrying room now, everything I normally carry goes in the left side and the right hand side is currently spare (think inverter, compressed air tank etc
)
