well the bonnet bra is off. Decided to keep it if im traveling long journeys on the motorway or up north somewhere. Know what lorrys can be like. SO general it will be used for long distance travling. Might be starting the rest of my boot build if i get a chance. Gave the inside a valet. shampoo the seats and all that jazz. Oh.. Fluffy dice hanging from the rear view now

Boot Build Again

Well thats the amp box thing ma bob done. Now onto the...Subwoofer!. Got a other punto boot carpet to go against the back seats also should tidy it up a bit.

Here is the frame for the subwoofer made from MDF.

Ok now it looks like a Temple

To be fair hasnt taken me that long. Its getting the time to do it. I have college full time and work saturday. Meaning my only day off is a sunday. Thanks. Takes a bit of time sanding it smooth. But i use a DA at first then by hand. Has a better finnish at the end. Just use my touch up gun to spray the base and clear down. Then TA Da sorted . I could have made a easier boot build. But then where the fun in that

looks wicked man, but how you gunna get rear lights off if a bulb goes? or is it easy to take off?

 

[Brad G]

drop teh back seats down. Each corner box is held in my metal brackets and 8mm bolts. Just a case of un-doing the bolts and the corner boxes come out. U need to drop the back seats down in order to get to the bolts though

build isnt to my taste as such. may just be cos i like symmetry with stuff like that, but either way, looks fantastic (without sounding like im contradicting myself - u know what i mean. ) and can see a lot of effort has gone into it.

Yeh man totally know what u mean. Im not happy with my exhaust anymore. As its not symmetrical lol. I decided to do the boot build way ive done it as i see far to many 2 subs each side. Or 2 amps with subs middle etc. + i think looks simple but effective. Not to over the top. Just a sub and a amp to run it But i do think Blue neon to the boot light so the back and the bottom and blue light up. Though dont want make it mega chav punto

What u think?

Oh really now!... well who ever gets there first i guess what you plans for your boot build? U carpet yours or doing the smoothed look like mine?

 

[wilko92]

not havin a boot build mate just got an edge sub in the boot and i was going to either hook LED's into the amp so they pulse with a switch so i can trun it on and off, of to the boot light and have them under my parcel shelf not too sure yet though

Still sounds cool though. You got a thread for your punto?

 

[wilko92]

Yeah man in my sig just done something funky with my center console

 

[Brad G]

Ha nice! i was going to do that ages ago. Then bougt a HGT console and did the Dial Mod, Then! lol.. bought a other HGT console and stuck a flip out 7" monitor lol

 

[Brad G]

Well back to the long process of fibreglassing... Joys lol

 

[Rawb]

Tidy work as always Brad, good to see someone doing it all properly. Attention to detail is everything to me and im glad you are doing a good job of it

How long is the fiberglass process?

Does not take too long. I gave the fleece a coat of resin first. After that 1st layer i applied 2 coats of Fibglass matting. Thick matting as its the sub side. Now im onto the process of Bodyfilling. I tried the sub out today. Just in the resin form. Sounds really good. Might add some fluff inside the box. But has really good base already. Really pleased

 

[Brad G]

Thats my subwoofer box fibreglass completed. I tried the vibe sub in the box just with the fibreglass sounds amazin! sounds exact the same as the box and has really good bass!. Must have just about got the air space about the same. Pritty chuffed. Will sounds deeper when i get the bodyfiller on which is in process. While the box was drying i decided to add a little touch to the boot. Wire some 12V blue LEDS into the boot light so when you open the boot the leds switch on. Still got to cut and fit the rear carpet to the back seats. This is how the leds look.

What you guys think? Cant wait to get the sub and amp boxes in! Going to do the same idea but on the rear seats so the leds shine from the picture below + down the back seats with the boxes at the side?

 

[Brad G]

Just found a left over Vibe sticker from my speakers. Thinking cutting a window around A4 size in the middle of the boot carpet. Mount perspex behind it. Stick the vibe sticker on top. With couple of Blue leds to light the perspex up?

Think look kl?
