Thread: 90 rear drwers and sound insulation

hi all, weve decided not to go extreme with the 90 but to set it up as a bit of a tourer, so with this in mind i've started the work.
first job was to get underneath and paint body deadener over all the under carraige as well as inside the back of the car.
once dry i started on the rear draw - all materials i got from bunnings and the carpet and insulation from clarke rubber.

wasn't to quick getting the camera so by the time i did i had the basic frame and runners set up as well as the carcass for the draw
the draw has to sit off to the left to allow it to get past the door. i intend to use this dead space for keeping the jack, wheel brace straps etc...




next i cut the top and stuck on the insulation using contact adhesive to both the timber and insulation (which is a pretty messy job)




then messy job again cut the carpet and stick that down. i used the rubber backed carpet as an extra sound insulation and didn't stick it down at the rear corners so i could fold it back should i need to get into the light boxes




i used alloy angle on the edges to give a neater finish and for a bit of durability




i had a piece of rubber matting laying around so i cut it up to use for the bottom of the draw. i also put the angle on the draw edges. i used a standard door/window dead bolt for the lock.




next was to cut some pieces to cover the holes into the jack storage area and cover with carpet.







has taken me 1 day so far and has cost around $480 i have still to fit a handle to the draw and some tie downs for the fridge as well as some sort of cargo barrier. will post some more when i get a bit more time to work on it.

i used the runner from a fly screen door (from bunnings in midland)- need to buy 2 as it only comes with 1 runner appprox 1500mm long and then cut it down to suit. also by buying 2 it also gives you 2 rollers per side which helps with the extra weight.
it says there rated at 90 kg each.
i've just come back from a trip away where we had the draw filled to the top - not sure of weight we put in it but it had 20 litres of water, 10kg of dog food, few tins, compressor etc.. and it slid along the runners as it did with no weight.

yep pretty handy being able to use the battery's on other tools as well. i got the cordless circular saw as well which did all the cut's of timber - saps the batterys quick mind.
