ive got it in the spare wheel well, a sealed battery no taller than 180mm fits great, you just have to make up a clamp.

i also used a vb-vh spare wheel cover, its metal and has a hing at the front so there no chance of anything falling through it onto the battery etc.

Where did you get the boot carpet? And what did you use on your cargo trims?

Psi_Wagon · 01-05-16, 17:53

i got the boot carpet from knox auto carpets, and the cargo trims i just recovered with some random velour from spotlight

Psi_Wagon · 16-04-19, 22:20

Psi_Wagon · 15-09-19, 18:38

just a couple more changes :P

31 spline/full spool & some staggered VF R8 wheels

---------- Post added 15-09-19 at 18:44 ----------

And if anyone is wondering you cant fit VE/VF 9.5" rears in a wagon without minitubbing, so that happened. While i was there, upgraded to coilovers all round.

---------- Post added 15-09-19 at 18:52 ----------

had to modify the rear seat now to fit, so while i was doing that (lol) built and installed some rear speaker boxes & headunit!

---------- Post added 15-09-19 at 18:55 ----------

blacked out all the external chrome with a mixture of Paint/Plastidip & Vinyl, and here we are. up to date!
