Goon Cargo areas

[Twiggz]

So when I bought my Goon, the cargo area was a mess. I had scraped off two layers of cheap old window tint that had turnned purple, and now people could see how nasty the inside of my car was.

 

 

I thought about what I could do to make her look a little better, and I decided to go with a roll on truck bed liner.

 

First things first, I had to take all panels and covers off.. then its on to the wire brush!

I also hammered the dings out of the wheel well while I was at it. In hind site, I wish I took the extra day to scrape off all the old tar paper that they installed in the factory. But at the time that was a lot more hastle then I thought it was worth.

 

After I knocked off most of the grime, it was time to get high. Cleaned it all with Acetone :D

 

After two coats over two days, I put her back to gether.

 

 

It came out well IMO. I have done a few more things like paint the sheet metal of the cargo area to a hammered black, and replaced my weather stripping.

 

I also was trying to get that damn retractible cover (seen in the first pic) to work. But I haven't made the brackets to hold it yet. It worked with the plastic ones I cut out as a template, till I hit a bump or took a corner too hard.:rolleyes:

 

Soon Ill carpet it because after a couple years of use, its looking a little faded. No where near as good as the pictures. But it held up well considering its been used helping friends move, picking up parts, and being a hangout spot for my dog.:D

 

Maybe in the future, Ill try to do some fiberglass work. make a nice box for an 8" sub that takes up this whole area. ;)

 

If you have pics of your cargo area, or ideas of what you plan to do, post them up! :D

Nice Job, looks good. A can of that roll on bed liner is a lot cheaper then having it proffesionally done and paing hundreds of bucks for it.:thumbup:

Love em. Sometimes I really wish I would have gotten a Goon.

zhent. I love the speaker covers.

Guess I should do something with my cargo area, But mine is clean for now.

I just have one 10" back there now. I would love to do some big ass 12's in fibreglass. But I don't have any skill with that. I might come up with some big ass billet enclosure, :cool:

John...what if we took an old metal cooler, painted it red & mounted your 10 inch woofer in it? :D i can help you make it happen.

Stock hub caps make great speaker covers for 12" subs...:cool:

I've never noticed any effect on the sound. Air comes out the holes and the bass thumps like it always did.
