a speaker wall I made from 12MM MDF cut to size to fit under the back floor behind the seats

trial fitted to the spare van first to make sure everything was cut correctly before carpeting, looks pretty good to me

then trail fitted to the van, im very happy with the way it looks and fits, just need to carpet it now

started sanding the rear doors, finding no bad surprises, no bog no rust, just little dents around where the hinges go, as most of these doors get from people trying to push the doors open more then they can go

happy with how good they are

Great thread, enjoying the read. Bummer about photobucket its ruined many peoples threads and how to's.
Its come along way, theres something about the van movement that brings out the DIY in people, I've got alot respect for that being a self taught tinkerer myself.
The commodores not bad either
Keep on vanning Drew.
