    make a mdf base to he shape off the back off your car and staple some carpet to it and slide it in

    if you are handy with a blade and a pair of sissors you gould by some cheap fabric and lay it in the back, I completely striped out mine no carpet but have been slowly putting it back together since before xmas and I used red material to give the car a classic 205GTi 1.9 look.

    Some of the curves and lumps'n'bumps can be tricky but if you don't rush it, it can work.

    There is alot of options open to a stripped rear interior personally I liked the bear metal and my spare wheel on show with a fabric brace holding it down, but I have seensoem very nice carpet'd rears which can be complimented by show cages or full on roll cages.

    Depends on how far you wana take it

    VTS_16v_boy lives!!!!!!

    You missed your birthday celebrations on here mate. We all had a beer for you

    As for the carpet, as above. MDF base cut to fit with carpet stapled/glued to it.

    Either that or rip out all the carpet and cover the floor with that cheap carpet you get to cover sub boxes. There was a Citroen AX or a 106 on here recently that I saw which had this done and it looked smart as.....

    Either that or do as VTS_boy did with the red foamy carpet

    of course I live, just don't get the chance to get on here as I have to use some strange concept called "Transport de Publico" its weird mate,

    you pay to get on a thing called a bos or tran which your not allowed to drive (fancy that) and you have to share you journey with people you don't know! Its like hitch hiking but in a big car, dont like it, doubt it will catch on to be honest. I think a communist invented "Transport de Publico", Im sure it will go the same way
