Another danish restoration

[Duze]

Another thing I did just after the MOT was making a cover for the spare wheel. I have removed the spare wheel since I won't be needing it but then the carpet drops into the hole (I don't want to use the large soundproofing mat). To avoid this I have made a cover of fibre glass. When the carpet is folded down it looks like there is a spare wheel.

This is how I did it.




I put the spare wheel back in place and covered it with plastic



Then I cut a piece of fibreglas cloth



I used just about half a liter of epoxy. I would like to have had two layers of fibre glass cloth, but I ran out of resin so one will have to do



Let it dry for some hours



Trim the edges and you have a nice cover. It isn't able to take that much weight, but even one layer of fibre glass is quite strong



Hiding all my safety stuff. Also the wheel well makes sure that it doesn't fly around in the back when I'm doing some mad drifting...


Next post will be about the rear spats I just painted and installed.
