I compeltely gutted my trunk tongiht since im getting a rear strut bar next week and i dont intend on having a system or groceries.

Should i keep all the panels? As of now they are in the trash can.

 

I would, incase **** happens and you need to sell the car. I keep all the **** I take off my car.

 

YES

dont ever throw out something from your car this isnt broken...
at least you can sell them, or keep them for if/when you sell the car


i just took out spare and the stupid lug wrench......doesnt work for my shitty *** Konig wheels and lugs anyways ..those account for the weight in the trunk.....

 

well, the kid im selling the car to said he didnt care

he said w/e i do is fine by him....... and i really dont care to keep them laying around, hence i have no garage and a very small room and a basement that is already way too full of ****

lmao, this brings back memories. a couple days before i went to the local dragstrip, i halfway gutted my 6th gen coupe. took out the door panels, passenger seat, rear seat back, rear seat cushion, trunk panels, trunk floor, spare tire, jack, and half my exhaust (hey, mufflers are heavy ). that thing was loud as HELL (headers, cat, and a resonator, basically exiting directly under me), and made everything in my car shake like crazy. lol, nobody believed id take a single thing out of my car. had the best time out of any of my friends, though.

 

did you put the trunk back togehter?

yeah. it was simple and only took like half an hour to snap the panels back in, slide the jack back in, bolt down the spare, and then toss the floor on top. the rear bench seat, however...

 

im not removing my rear seat for that mer fact of it being a royal PITA to put back

but since my friend said he doesnt care that theres "no trunk" i might as well just trash em.....id sell em but itd cost more to ship than to sell

it makes sense to keep them in case they might one day be needed. but space is too valuable.

 

i know i wont ever need em

o well

screw it, if he wants em he better speak up otherwise Mr. Trashman is taking them Tuesday

 

always keep everything you remove

what were your times before/after gutting it?

 

i was just gonna ask that

id like to know that, even though i dont plan to take the car to a strip

 

I've stripped my trunk and i've had it like that for a year now almost.

1) Use dry ice and a chisel for the sound deadening
2) Expect interior noise to be louder
3) If youre really **** retentive, sand down the trunk and put downa few layers of factory color paint from a can at Autozone, then do a clearcoat so your trunk looks pretty.

I saved all my parts, since I figure to sell the car ASAP as I can

 

you can put in a rear strut bar while retaining your trunk mats and such.

 

i figured you could but id rather take it out, i like the way it looks too

doesnt make sense but its me

 

times, im interested also my cars loud as it is with the konis/gcs
