make some room

Post by sh#tbox »

Hello all. Another proud owner of the best car built by a man. This little car is amazing isnt it! So I rent a little house, and came here with very little. I didn't have much when I got here and somehow I now have more stuff. So I know the stuff I came with will fit back in, but that is minescule to the ammount of stuff I'd like to throw in now! So "what do you do"? Hey, let's throw out the spare tire! All sorts of room down there! Hmmm still not enough room, and now we don't have a spare!... Why dont we throw the back seats away instead? So now lets load it full of stuff... No spare no seats....now we got this big wall of stuff about to fall on us! we should have some sort of barrier here I think?

But when we get where we are going we will want our spare and seats back huh? Long way to go back for some seats and an ugly tire. SO let's bolt the tire on the back of the car, and make the seats so they fold into a barrier from the driver/passenger compartment.

Just curious if anyone has thought of this and if they make the parts so you can do it. Would be a fairly simple mod I think, and very useful. I may be willing to manufacture a few of these (cuz I'm gonna do it anyway) while I'm @ it, is anyone interested if I do it?

Was thinking the tire may be a bit big, do not know what it would look like, perhaps the roof huh? would use a donut if I had to I guess... I don't know just wondering.

I removed the back seats and lost 50 lbs. Replaced them with a sheet of wafer board on hinges at back and resting on 3 2x4s resting on the floor in front. Lot of room under there for heavy stuff...like guns...drugs...kidnap victims...stuff like that. :mrgreen:
