Hello friends, it's been a while, but now it's sunny so it's car time again.

You may remember this ingenious yet horrendous yet airtight bodge:

Image

I decided it was time to sort it properly, so I got one of these:

Image

And some of these:

Image

And did this messyAF but solid couple of welds:

Image

Then I decided my boot build wasn't good enough, so I spent a day in absolute misery and severe pain chiseling off this wankycuntshitbollocks sound insulation:

Image
Image
Image

Then stripped the boot:

Image

So that I could do this:

Image
Image

Yay, it's yellow. I know right.

Then I failed the MOT because the battery was apparently insecurely fastened because it was sitting on the back seat, who'd have thought eh? So I had to screw it into the spare wheel thingy in the middle for the time being:

Image

But as much as I like the yellow stripped out yo look, I needed some bass to keep me awake on my early morning drive to work, so went to B&Q, to find it had closed down, but was being refitted, and there was a load of MDF outside. So after a quick chat with the lovely shopfitter dudes, i walked away with 2 6x4 sheets of the henchest MDF if ever freaking seen. For free :)

Image

Then after lots and lots of measuring and cutting and measuring and cutting and more measuring, I made this heavy as balls fitted box:

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

It's a bit over-engineered for the sub I'm using at the mo, but now I can upgrade to a nice big powerful dealeo without having to worry about the box flexing to pieces.

I think I might do another one on the other side then join them with a brace or summat like that, what do you guys think?

At least you won't have any trouble cornering to the right! :lol: Should have put it the otherside to balance the car out a bit more ;)

And seriously with the battery on the back seat at the time of MOT? :facepalm: :lol:

I do like the yellow boot though. Might have to do something with mine like that. I've got no lining and the underside of the bootlid is a different colour. I was going to line it to match the underside of the bootlid, but might just go for something eccentric like yours :)
