Default Trunk Rehab

I was tired of my shabby trunk, so I decided to do some more Jag Arts and Crafts. Just got some cheap indoor/outdoor carpet and glue from HD. It's more grey than the blue shade in the picture. Here's a look at before and after.

Carpet is not tucked in properly in the photo..was just after finishing up. Had not even cleaned up the stitches yet.
Looks great and love the logo.. mine is so plain in comparison..

I read the post, saw the before picture, scrolled down to the after picture and literally said "Wow" out loud. My wife heard me and asked me what I said. Looks so great and is truly unique .

Ditto. Neat, but, with an issue. Just too good to put stuff on!!!

I like the Growler !!!

Mine is neat and clean. Original stuff well taken care of and detailed before I got it.

My son gave me a roll of a rubber material with a texture resembling fish scale alloy.
I cut out a section for the floor of each "boot" in my cars. Each has a suitable basic load. Tool boxes plus "emergency" gear. Why, don't ask... I've moved them from car to car for decades..

I modified the board at the back so that it can move forward. We have a 2hr drive next month with the Idaho British Car Club. ( Southwest Idaho British Field Meet ) . At the drive destination, we have a car show. During the show, I want to show off my trunk, but I needed a place to hide all the junk I need to carry (tools, coolant, parts, etc) for emergencies. Now I can just stick it all back behind the board.
