carpet it, put a false floor in and put your tools in it, put in a few subs and/or cd changer, get a few holden symbols in here and there and put in some lighting of some sort?
have a look through a few magazines try and pck up some ideas of there? |

MDF & fibreglass will be ur new best friends for a reall goos job. Use a decent quality mouldable carpet that's not too thick. A few cans of a decent spray glue, staple gun etc etc and u'll be sweet. Use some imagination and remember "less is more."
Lets see pics when ur done

anyone care to explain how you make a false floor?
i have a huge big cut out piece of soundproofing 4 inch thick foam and it quiets the entire car down (no exhaust noise) but its not flat...? |

frame ur sections in 1/2 inch angle line (use steel if u can weld or aluminium if u can't coz then u can just rivet it) Then it's a matter of cutting MDF to fit in the frames. |

get a big piece of wood. sit it in your boot. cut out to fit neat ie. around wheel arch etc. you now have a false floor. |
