a sunday job...

Yeah I reckon it looks great. Look forward to seeing the finished shelf.

Matbor,

Looks good, I'm thinking of doing something similar particularly with a fold down shelf. I'd be interested to see how yours goes. Can you put some pics on when your finished.

Thanks

Iain

will do...

just got to work out how I am going to make it first...

Looks the goods! Does this mean when you finish the shelf you'll have a crack at protecting those front guards like on the Defender Extreme??? :twisted:

Maybe I should replace all the panels with chq plating 8)

No, that would be silly. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Then you could paint the dash and lower the ride height.

Don't forget the subwoofers to complete the look !! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Well I have been muking around with a few ideas for the shelf, and this is my first idea :

I like this idea because you can park the car on uneven ground and the shelf will self level. Only two problems, first one that is easily fixed is the shelf bows, second is it doesn't fold up and store easily, but I'm sure I can work something out.

The second idea, that I'm going to try out is to hinge it at the bottom, but I'll try that later on in the week.

A piano hinge will help. It is continuous.

I've seen this sort of set up in a toyo troopy.
